Yield: about 2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups rolled oats
  2. 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  3. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  4. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  5. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  6. 1 teaspoon fine salt
  7. 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  8. 1/2 cup unrefined coconut oil
  9. 6 tablespoons molasses (not blackstrap molasses)
  10. 2 large eggs
  11. 1/2 to 3/4 cup golden raisins
  12. 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer, mix the sugar and coconut oil until combined. Add the molasses and eggs and mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the raisins and walnuts.
  4. Using a 2-tablespoon or 1-ounce scoop, portion the dough onto the baking sheets, 1/2 to 1 inch apart. If you like chewier cookies, leave the dough as is. If you like crispier cookies, press down with a spoon to flatten. Bake until the edges are brown, about 15 minutes. Cool before serving.

I used dark chocolate chips instead of raisins and pecan as the nuts. This was quite excellent!
Susan Scott
I used butter instead of coconut oil, cut the granulated sugar in half, and left out the high-sugar raisins. Still good. I might swap half the white flour for whole wheat next time.

I decreased the baking time to 13 minutes and didn’t flatten out the cookies. Otherwise, the cookies have a very good flavor. I would definitely make them again.
Corey Miller
An excellent cookie. I used only 2tbsp of molasses as 6 seemed excessive. Still got a nice color, flavor and chewy cookie. Would also up the raisins to about a cup.

OMG! These are SO good. I used regular raisins and toasted the walnuts before adding them. I also soaked about 6-8 whole dates in whiskey then drained and chopped them and added those too. I used quick oats. Also, I used Sugar in the Raw instead of white sugar. Mine did not spread out much; next time I’ll flatten them before baking.

Used Wholesome Organic Blackstrap molasses.  They were much darker than the video, using regular molasses.  Was worried, but OH MY!!!  They were beyond delicious.  Didnt flatten and they were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.  This has not made my cookie recipe collection, with blackstrap molasses.  PERFECT!

These cookies are amazing.  I only had blackstrap molasses so that’s what I used.  They are really tasty.  I made round balls and then baked.  Didn’t flatten.  They were richly flavored and chewy.  Just like my family likes their cookies.

I am from the Caribbean. Here, we always look for recipes that are rich and full of flavour. This cookie did not disappoint at all. The molasses and the coconut oil were the star of the dish! My cookies came out absolutely perfect.

These are great!  The dough freezes well and the cookies are the perfect consistency.
