Chewy Oatmeal Molasses Cookies
Chewy Oatmeal Molasses Cookies
These are very good! No need for a electric mixer here, you can do this by hand easily. I made these on 4 Mar 2017, big hit with the Thais.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup shortening, or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg, chicken or duck
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- pinch salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
Instructions
- Cream the sugar and shortening together in a large mixing bowl with a large sturdy spoon. Add the vanilla, egg, and molasses; beat until well blended. When mixed it sort of looks like chocolate pudding.
- Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices in another bowl; blend well. Add the dry mixture to the first mixture, mix well. Fold in the oatmeal. Cover and chill in the fridge to firm up the dough at bit. This photo is after the flour mixture was mixed in.
- Preheat your oven to 190 C. Lightly grease a baking sheet with butter.
- Drop the dough using two tablespoons, one to scoop, and one to push off on to the prepared baking sheet. This photo shows the consistency of dough.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
