Directions for: Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

cup unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup dark brown sugar, packed

1 egg

1 Tbsp vanilla

1 Tbsp fancy molasses

1 cup all purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

tsp baking soda

tsp cinnamon

tsp nutmeg

1 cup oats

1 cup raisins

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Cream together butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg and blend. Stir in vanilla and molasses. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and spices. Add to butter mixture and mix in. Add oats and raisins and stir just until oats are coated with cookie batter. Drop tablespoonfuls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, until cookies start to brown around the edges and loose their shine.
