Ingredients

• 1/4 cup melted butter (1/2 stick)
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup tightly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• about 75 raisins

Directions

1. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Let the butter cool to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2. Spray a measuring cup with nonstick cooking spray and measure out ¼ cup molasses. Add the molasses and the brown sugar to the melted butter. Next, stir in the baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

3. Add the flour and milk slowly, mixing as you go. Stir until all ingredients are incorporated thoroughly.

4. Use a small cookie scooper or rounded teaspoons to drop dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Put two raisins on top for eyes and a quarter of a maraschino cherry for the mouth.

5. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees. Let the cookies cool for two minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
