Old Fashioned Oatmeal Molasses Cookies

You guys these Old Fashioned Oatmeal Molasses Cookies are truly awesome. I think molasses is underrated these days, it is perfect in these cookies!

I love oatmeal cookies – like love that so much if we were kids someone could say to me “if you love them why don’t you marry them”! And I would say “OK that sounds like a great idea” – I love them that much!

You know what else?

I believe oatmeal cookies are an ideal breakfast food. If truth be known I think a lot of things are ideal breakfast foods that no one else does. You know like my Mom or the rest of normal society, probably wouldn’t think would make ideal breakfast food. But I believe I could make a real case in front of the Breakfast Food Court for oatmeal cookies.

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Molasses Cookies

My middle kid loved these! They are just enough different from other oatmeal cookies thanks to the molasses. They stayed soft and chewy as well.

I can’t wait to share my Oatmeal Scotchies  because they are definitely in my Top 10 list of oatmeal cookies! 

Oatmeal Ice Box Cookies are a great make ahead dough that keeps in the refrigerator for those sudden urges for warm oatmeal cookies!
