Molasses Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies – perfectly soft & chewy!

Molasses Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Hi friends! How are you? Just when we had been given several weeks of spring-like temps here in North Idaho, winter came back with a vengeance. Single digits are no fun. But that means I have been keeping warm by baking like crazy.

One recipe I have already made several times in the last week is this one for Molasses Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. The family is split on a favorite cookie here. Some love oatmeal raisin & others love chocolate chip. So we often compromise with this combo.

The not-so-secret ingredient in these is the molasses. Adding all that depth with molasses gives these cookies something that is irresistible. That thick liquid sugar syrup is an ingredient that I add to so many recipes & this particular one demands it. It really helps to keep the cookies soft & chewy. That really is the best kind of oatmeal cookie, don’t you agree? Which is why it is so KEY with these!
