Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¾ cup salted butter (1 ½ sticks), softened at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon cloves
  • ¾ teaspoon ginger
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add egg and molasses. Mix until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and blend until combined.
  • Stir in oatmeal.
  • Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. The cookies will spread in the oven, so I recommend only placing 9 cookies on each baking sheet.
  • Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies will still look soft, which is fine. They will firm up a little bit as they cool, but they will still be soft and chewy!
  • Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
