Recipe Instructions

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a baking sheet and set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar. Dissolve the baking soda in the coffee, then add to the butter mixture along with the molasses. Mix well. (Note: If you do not dissolve the soda in the coffee, you will end up with flat cookies that were torn and have holes)

Combine the flour, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Add to the butter mixture, mixing well. Fold in the raisins and nuts.

Drop the batter by the teaspoonful onto the baking sheet. Bake until the cookies spring back slightly when touched, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat until all the batter has been used.

This recipe yields 84 cookies.
