These Oatmeal Molasses Chocolate Chip Cookies are the perfect dessert for any and all occasions. Eat them warm from the oven or grab one as you're walking out the door. You can't go wrong with having a delicious homemade cookie in your hand!
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, or a large bowl, add the butter, sugar, eggs, and molasses (which should all be at room temp). Mix until smooth using the paddle attachment or a hand mixer.
1/2 cup butter, 1 1/4 cups granulated white sugar, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup molasses
In another large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together.
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
2 cups quick oats, 12 oz chocolate chips
Use a cookie scoop to drop dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2" in between.
Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly brown with the centers almost done. You want them to be chewy, not crispy.
Let cool on the pan for about 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes—don’t overbake to keep them chewy!
A glass of cold milk makes the perfect pairing.
Add whipped cream or frosting between two cookies for a delicious sandwich.
