EASY OATMEAL COOKIES WITH GINGER AND MOLASSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
• Add egg and molasses. Mix until combined.
• In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and blend until combined.
• Stir in oatmeal.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto baking sheets that have been lined with parchment paper or silicone mats. The cookies will spread in the oven, so I recommend only placing 9 cookies on each baking sheet.
• Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies will still look soft, which is fine. They will firm up a little bit as they cool, but they will still be soft and chewy!
• Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.

CHEWY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer), cream the butter and sugars on medium-low speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed until each one is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl well.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to the butter mixture and mix on low speed just until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oats and mix on low speed to combine, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Scrape the bowl well.
• Use a No. 16 (1/4-cup) scoop to portion the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets --stagger the cookies, leaving 1 1/2 inches between them to allow for spreading.
• Bake the cookies, rotating the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, until evenly golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.
