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!)
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
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. 
  2. Add the eggs. Mix on high speed until combined - about 1 minute. 
  3. Add the vanilla and molasses. Mix on high speed until combined - set aside. 
  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.

  7. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. 
  8. Preheat the oven to 350º. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  9. Roll 2 Tablespoon sized balls of dough and place 2 inches a part on baking sheets.

  • I will definitely make a batch of these yummy-sounding cookies, but since I’m not a raisins fan, I will be substituting chopped walnuts for them. Thanks. I always love to try new recipes. I, too, am reading your Rocking Chair Prophet book and enjoying it so much, like I do every book I’ve ever purchased from Dynamic Catholic! God bless your holy-days!

  • I made a batch of the raisin cookies and they are delicious!
    My grandma used to bake oatmeal raisin cookies for us kids and they were delicious, these bring back many good memories of those days and my grandma.
    I gave a plate of the cookies to my granddaughter who attends the local college to share with her buddies, hopefully they are remembered by her in the years to come!
    Thank you,
    Kevin
