[recipe] Chewy Molasses Oat Crackles

[Guest guest]

I was craving something sweet, so I found this recipe and made these

cookies tonite. They taste a lot like regular molasses cookies, but the

oatmeal gives them an interesting texture.

 

 

 

Chewy Molasses Oat Crackles

 

 

 

1-1/4

 

cups all-purpose flour*

1

 

cup firmly packed brown sugar

Wow... these sound so good. This recipe is a keeper.

i like the addition of the oats ~ cool idea that.

Molasses is high in iron, too, and we all need that.

Unfortunately it has been so bloody hot lately i

have not been doing any baking in my oven.

Soon as i can get my toaster oven and will be able

to freeze dough and bake up a few at a time, like

Priscilla suggested, i am going to try these.

 

i have a good recipe for some cookies called chocolate

no-bakes that i often make during the summer.

i'll type it up and share it later on today.
