Oatmeal Molasses Cookies

In honor of Armenian Christmas this week I wanted to share a recipe for these delicious Oatmeal Molasses Cookies I made last week. They were so yummy I didn't have any leftovers to snack on the next day!

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup raisins

• 2 Eggs, large

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
• 1/2 cup walnuts

• 6 tbsp Blackstrap Molasses

• 1 3/4 cups All-purpose flour

• 1 tsp Baking powder

• 1 tsp Baking soda

• 1 tsp Cinnamon, ground

• 1/2 cups Stevia (or granulated sugar)

• 1/2 cup Organic Brown Sugar

• 1 tsp Salt, fine
• 
  
• *makes about 2 dozen cookies*
• 
  

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

.

In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.

. 

In a stand mixer, mix the sugar and coconut oil until combined. Add the molasses and eggs and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the raisins and walnuts.

.

Using a 2-tablespoon or 1-ounce scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheets, 1/2 to 1 inch apart. If you like chewier cookies, leave the dough as is. If you like crispier cookies, press down with a spoon to flatten. 

.

Bake until the edges are brown, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving.

This recipe was inspired by the Food Network website.

 I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it as much as my family and I did ♥
