Directions

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt; set aside. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; beat well. Beat in raisins.

Knead bag with hands to melt remaining chocolate. Cut 1/8-inch corner off one end of the bag. Drizzle cooled cookies with chocolate. Let stand until chocolate is set, about 20 minutes.Substitution: 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice may be substituted for the spices.This recipe originally ran in the December 2006 edition of Heart of the Home.
