Makes about 18 cookies

== Ingredients ==

* 1 cup raisins
* 2 tablespoons finely chopped crystallized ginger
* 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
* 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup packed (5 1/4 ounces) dark brown sugar
* 1/2 cup molasses
* 2 large eggs
* 1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
* 3/4 cup (3 ounces) confectioners' sugar

== Instructions ==

# Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and heat oven to 350°. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
# Process raisins and ginger in food processor until mixture sticks together and only small pieces remain, about 10 seconds. Transfer mixture to large bowl.
# Heat butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat, swirling pan occasionally, until nutty brown in color, about 10 minutes.
# Stir in cinnamon and allspice into butter and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
# Stir butter mixture into raisin mixture until well combined; let cool to room temperature.
# Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in bowl.
# Stir brown sugar, molasses, and eggs into cooled butter-raisin mixture until incorporated.
# Fold flour mixture into batter. Dough will be very sticky.
# Refrigerate, covered, until firm, at least 1 1/2 hours or up to 24 hours.
# Divide dough into quarters. Transfer 1 piece of dough to lightly floured surface and roll into 10-inch log.
# Transfer to prepared sheet and use ruler to neatly square off sides.
# Repeat with remaining dough, placing 2 logs per baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
# Bake until only shallow indentation remains on edges when touched (center will appear slightly soft), 15 to 20 minutes.
# Let logs cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes; transfer parchment to wire racks and let cool completely.
# Whisk orange juice and confectioners’ sugar in small bowl until smooth.
# Drizzle glaze onto cooled logs and let sit until glaze hardens, about 15 minutes.
# Cut logs into 2-inch bars and serve.
