This recipe, a version of which I found in my husband’s grandmother’s recipe box from the 1930s, is almost a cross between a cookie and gingerbread. Using a whole cup of molasses gives the cookies a fluffy texture and a deep molasses flavor.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a mixer or a wooden spoon, thoroughly cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and beat well.
Sift together all the dry ingredients. Add them to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and molasses, stirring just until all the ingredients are incorporated. Gently stir in the raisins.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Using a teaspoon or a small scoop, place balls of the dough about three inches apart. Bake the cookies until light golden brown and slightly springy when touched, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
