OATMEAL MOLASSES DROP COOKIES



Oatmeal Molasses Drop Cookies image

I *love* these cookies! They are chewy, chunky, spicy, and delicious! The recipe originally came from Betty Crocker's Cooky Book and were listed as "The Best Cooky of 1900-1910". For a change, try substituting cut-up dates or other dried fruits for the raisins. NOTE: If you replace the shortening with butter as many reviewers have done, you will probably get a crispier vs. chewy cookie.

This is the recipe my hubby remembers making with Grandpa Stewart when he and his brother were young. He also made Grandpa Stewart's Raw Apple Cake (the recipe is in JAP). When we got married, and he shared these memories, I immediately asked for the recipes! Enjoy!

COCOA-MOLASSES DROP COOKIES



Cocoa-Molasses Drop Cookies image

This recipe was part of a few hundred recipes my Aunt had collected from friends and family over the years. It caught my attention because I questioned how chocolate and molasses would team together. As I finished the dough and tasted it I knew I had come across a very unique and wonderful combination. I couldn't wait until they were baked. They were even better. Try adding a vanilla glaze to the top of the cookies and pipe it on in thin lines. It makes them pretty and even tastier!
