How to Make Scotch Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup raisins, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Add ½ cup molasses, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2-3 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are still slightly soft. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
