Molasses Oat Cookies

A recipe I developed for my fabulous Sbiophysics cohort.

Ingredients

• 2 sticks softened butter (1 cup)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp ginger
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups oats

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F. Combine butter and sugars in a bowl, beat until creamed. Add eggs and mix. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices and mix. Gradually add flour and oats. Spoon by rounded tablespoonfuls on to a lined or greased cookie sheet, flatten slightly, and bake for 12 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool.
