Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 13 minutes
Makes: 26-30 cookies

 

Ingredients: 

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon (or more to your liking!)

1 cup raisins

 

Instructions: 

  1. Cream the room temperature butter and both sugars using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth - about 2 minutes.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. 
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients - mix on low until combined.

  • Can’t wait to try them. They sound delicious. My husband’s favorite. I loved the Book. I think you are a marvelous writer/person. I love all your books. I have distributed Holy moments booklets. I am very happy with the results.
    Thank you

  • One optional ingredient, for those of us who like them, is 1 cup of toasted pecans, coarsely chopped. Just toast them at 350 degrees for 5 minutes on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. Use the dough hook attachment for your mixer to blend in the raisins, oatmeal and toasted pecan pieces.

  • Has anyone tried gluten-free cop-for-cup measurement for this recipe? Does it work ok? Just planning ahead for family Christmas! Please email any responses. Thanks!
