Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon molasses

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and rolled oats. Whisk to combine.
  • To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter and brown sugar. Cream together on low speed until smooth.
  • Add eggs, vanilla, and molasses. Mix,(stopping to scrape down the side of the bowl as needed), until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • With the mixer still on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
  • Scoop out the dough, using a 2-tablespoon scoop. Roll each into a ball and then place on the lined baking sheet and gently press to slightly flatten the cookies.
  • Bake for 7-8 minutes. They may look slightly doughy, and that is okay.
  • Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
