These soft and chewy cookies with delicious spice flavors are the perfect addition to any cookie tray.
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup molasses
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup quick cooking oats, uncooked
1 1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter and first measure of sugar and beat until fluffy.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla and mix well.
In another bowl, combine the flours, baking soda, and salt. Stir the mixture into the egg mixture. Add the oats and raisins and stir well.
Combine the remaining sugar and ground cinnamon and set aside.
Shape the cookie dough into 1-inch sized balls and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Place the cookies on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees F for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned.
Remove from the cookie sheet to a cooling rack. Store in an airtight container.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Really good cookies. Made as recipe is written. After making dough I placed it in the fridge for an hour. So much easier to roll. It's a very moist dough. Perfect flavors for fall.

I made this for my diabetic in-laws, and they absolutely loved them. I substituted the 3/4 cup of sugar for agave nectar, and skipped rolling it in sugar and cinnamon. I put the cinnamon in the dough instead. They were so moist and good. Didn't taste sugar-free at all! By far the best sugar free desert I ever made.

Very Good--I added another 1 1/2 cups of Oats. In total, 3 cups. (That's what a recipe with brown sugar would require too) This recipe actually make 65 cookies!! Very good, especially if you want a healthier choice!
