How to Make Addictive Oatmeal Molasses Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, and oats.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the molasses and eggs until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the raisins (or craisins).
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
