Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make WWII Oatmeal Molasses Cookies Delight.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine flour, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together until they form a harmonious blend.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, cream the sugar and shortening until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, then incorporate the molasses, beaten eggs, and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is well mixed.
Step 4
Gradually introduce the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
Step 5
If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some chopped walnuts and raisins for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Scoop teaspoonfuls of the cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each dollop.
Step 7
Bake in your preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 8
Once baked, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Enjoy the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your delicious creations!.
