I mean it the most wonderful time of year, am I right? Another holiday favorite is my mothers Millionaire Shortbread. It’s divine and a must try! Thinking about the holidays I had to make our molasses cookies to bring on the cheer.  The chewiness and rich flavor of molasses is very nostalgic. It reminds me of everything Christmas and all things gingerbread. The outer sugar coating really brings a crunch and sweetness that makes this cookie a delicious treat! In our house we pair the molasses cookies with a hot latte or a cold glass of milk. The ingredients for this are usually a staple in most pantries. I don’t always keep molasses on hand but just happened to have one from last year that I never opened. Molasses Cookie Recipe The recipe is very basic ingredients and the star of the show is molasses. Rolling the dough in sugar creates an amazing crunchy outer layer over the chewy cookie. Begin by preheating the oven to 350℉. To make the dough, I start by adding the softened butter, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, and Pure Vanilla Extract (the wet ingredients) to my kitchen aid stand mixer. In a separate bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, cardamom, salt, and baking soda. When the dry ingredients are combined you can add them slowly into the wet ingredients (1/3 at a time). Add the tbsp of water to the mixer to help combine the dough. We enjoy using a cookie scoop to keep our cookies even for looks but also for even baking. Take each scoop, roll it in a ball and roll it in the white sugar. Place each ball a couple inches apart on a lined cookie sheet as they do spread. Bake the molasses cookies for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look very soft in texture. However it’s in the after baking that the beautiful chewiness with the sugar crunch begins to happen! 🤩 Allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes.  Special Family Time My daughter Norah wanted to help this year with the molasses cookie recipe. It was a precious memory. You’ll see her little hands featured in our Instagram reel. It has been a lot of fun bringing her and her brother Jonas into the kitchen and creating memories and traditions. Both kids love to bake with us! The molasses was a new scent to her at the age of 5. At first I wasn’t sure if she’d like the recipe. I quickly found out it took her only one bite to get her high approval. Children can be so skeptical when it comes to new foods. We often make my husbands chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for the children because it is the family favorite and a crowd pleaser. However these molasses cookies are dear to my heart and earned their place. This recipe will be on our Christmas cookie line up and I hope in yours too.  There are many recipes for cookies and sweets out there but sometimes having a tried-and-true classic recipe is all you need. Milk and cookies will never be the same. The molasses cookies use very basic ingredients from your cupboard. Of course the star of the show is unsulphured molasses. Try them out this Christmas season. I promise your family and friends won’t be disappointed! 😀

They’re such a delicious part of life. Think about it, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, birthday parties, family gatherings, and more! Just like us, you probably have many varieties of cookies for many varieties of special occasions.  People have been making cookies since the seventh century. That’s right, over 1500 years of cookies!! That must be why people love them so much. At the Sells’ household, we’re no exception. This chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe has been a staple in our household since we’ve been married. Not only do they make their way into our holidays but they’re a highly requested item at most gatherings that we’re a part of. At one point, a couple years ago, in the spirit of entrepreneurship, we thought we would start a cookie business. We were going to call it, “Two Hot Cookies” because Kodi and one of his guy friends were going to start it out. Thinking back about it now makes me laugh a bit, haha! These ideas are conversations we have almost on a daily basis. We can’t help but think of ways to start a business for multiple streams of income; especially, one that incorporates food! That business idea may still be up in the air, but the cookies are amazing and definitely worth making in your own home. The Story Behind these Cookies Kodi has been making these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies for our family and friends for years. They are dense, chewy, not too sweet, and knobbly in all the best ways. He discovered a recipe years ago and kept tweaking the ingredients until he had the perfect consistency of chewy cookie. The oat and chocolate experience makes this recipe a keeper. If you’ve ever wanted a cookie that holds up to the dunk in coffee or milk, soaks in what is desired, and hits the spot these are what you’re looking for. This recipe is so flexible that if you minus the oats, you can create many variations. The other day, I followed just the cookie base part of the recipe, and added sprinkles on top. The kids were very thrilled indeed. All they wanted to eat for the next few days were the special sprinkle cookies that they requested. The cookies were a success and looked beautiful! On one occasion, Kodi swapped 1/4 cup of flour for 1/4 cup of black cocoa powder and made a double chocolate chip cookie that was so decadent! Eating them made us feel guilty, haha, they were that good! Make it Your Own Feel free to add in your own ingredients. Just swap out the oats and chocolate chips for something you and your family love. We would love to hear about your cookie adventures in the comments below. Feel free to share with us, as we’re always looking for a unique way to make another delicious creation. Be encouraged, be creative, and have fun eating those delicious cookies!
