OATMEAL MOLASSES DROP COOKIES



Oatmeal Molasses Drop Cookies image

I *love* these cookies! They are chewy, chunky, spicy, and delicious! The recipe originally came from Betty Crocker's Cooky Book and were listed as "The Best Cooky of 1900-1910". For a change, try substituting cut-up dates or other dried fruits for the raisins. NOTE: If you replace the shortening with butter as many reviewers have done, you will probably get a crispier vs. chewy cookie.

OATMEAL DROP COOKIES

My grandmother made this for us when I was very young. Back to the basics. No fancy ingredients, and it turns out great. She got this recipe from her mother, my great grandmother and I got it from her. My great grandmother lived to be 102 & 1/2 years old. This was one of her favorite treats that she ate often. It also brings back good memories just to make this recipe. Four generations still enjoy this.

Provided by Steve-0 2

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 50m

Yield 60 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons molasses
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • First, mix the following together thoroughly in a blender: shortening, eggs, sugar and molasses.
  • ** I find its easier to measure the molasses when hot, so I stick the bottle in the microwave for a few seconds, and heat up my metal measuring spoon on the stove (careful).
  • Second, in a separate bowl, sift together the following: flour, soda, salt and cinnammon.
  • After these are sifted, slowly add them to the mixer with the ingredients from the first step.
  • Mix until fairly smooth, no lumps.
  • Fold in the oats and raisins.
  • This is pretty tough on the mixer, so unless you have a good one, you may want to do this by hand.
  • To bake, drop rounded teaspoonfuls (or whatever size cookies you want) on a lightly greased baking sheet, approx 2" apart.
  • I like to press the center of the cookie down a bit, so it cooks evenly.
  • Cook for approximately 8 minutes.
  • Notes: The cookies should be very soft, and even look un-cooked when you take them out of the oven.
  • -Don't worry, let them cool, and you'll be rewarded with an amazing, chewy, tasty cookie.
  • -Of course, if you prefer hard cookies, cook approx 2 minutes longer, but I recommend the chewy version.
