My take on a classic cookie, these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are reminiscent of Dad's oatmeal cookies with the addition of coconut, molasses, and spices!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or silicone baking mats or spray with nonstick spray.

Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric handheld mixer at high speed for 30 seconds. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla and continue mixing until light and fluffy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oatmeal, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and ginger and mix at low speed until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop the cookie dough onto a prepared baking sheet, using about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough per cookie and leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie for spreading room.

Bake cookies one pan at a time in the preheated oven for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and just slightly soft looking on top. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling while you bake the remaining pans of cookies. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oat Texture Magic 🌾
Blend quick-cooking and rolled oats for the perfect cookie texture - quick oats provide softness while rolled oats add delightful chewiness and rustic character.
Chill for Success 🧊
Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and enhance the depth of flavor through ingredient melding.
Spice Layer Technique 🌶️
Toast ground ginger and cinnamon in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the mix to intensify their aromatic qualities and bring out deeper, more complex flavor notes.
Chocolate Chip Distribution 🍫
Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to press into the top of each cookie dough ball just before baking, ensuring beautiful chocolate visibility and perfect chip placement.
Molasses Magic 🍯
Warm the molasses slightly before mixing to help it incorporate more smoothly and prevent clumping, which creates more uniform moisture and flavor throughout the dough.
