Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover raisins with boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes; drain and set aside.

2. Whisk together next six ingredients. In another bowl, combine molasses, butter, egg white and vanilla.; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and raisins (batter will be wet).

3. Divide batter in half; spread each half (wetting ends, if necessary) into a 12X2-in. rectangle. Place them 2 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until edges are lightly browned and set, 10-15 minutes.

4. Transfer rectangles to a cutting board; with a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 1 1/2 inch bars. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
