These chewy oatmeal molasses cookies are a delightful treat, combining the rich flavor of molasses with the hearty texture of oats.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Preheating the oven ensures even baking from the start.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, rolled oats, and raisins. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly prevents uneven flavor distribution.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and molasses, and mix until well combined.
Creaming the butter and sugar properly gives the cookies a tender texture.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Overmixing can develop gluten in the flour, making the cookies tough.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using a cookie scoop ensures uniform cookie sizes for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Allowing the cookies to cool on the sheet helps them set and prevents breakage.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pairing these cookies with a warm drink enhances the enjoyment.
