WWII Oatmeal Molasses Cookies image

This was my Grandmother's recipe from the 1940's. These cookies use molasses in place of brown sugar, which was one of the items rationed during the war (and harder to get than white sugar, they tell me). To me they're better than regular oatmeal cookies!

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup pecan halves
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Grind the oatmeal and pecan pieces in a food processor until they resemble cornmeal--reasonably fine but with some texture. Whisk the whole wheat flour, cornstarch, ginger, salt and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk in the oat/nut mixture.
  • In another medium bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until smooth and light, about 1 minute. Gradually add the granulated and light brown sugar; continue beating until evenly combined, about 3 minutes more. Add the vanilla and the egg.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients to make a textured dough. Line a 1 1/2-quart loaf pan or 3 mini loaf pans with plastic wrap and pack dough into the bottom half of the pan. Press to level off the dough. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top and refrigerate until completely firm, about 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Remove dough from the pan and unwrap. Slice dough in half lengthwise if using a large pan. Slice each log crosswise into 1/4-inch thick cookies. Place the cookies about a 1-inch apart on the prepared pans. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool and crisp. Serve.
  • Store cookies in a tightly sealed container for up to 1 week.

Tips for Making Oatmeal Molasses Crisps:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh oatmeal, molasses, and butter will give your crisps the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the crisps tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the crisps hold their shape.
  • Bake the crisps until they are golden brown. The crisps should be firm to the touch when they are done.
  • Let the crisps cool before serving. The crisps will be easier to handle and will taste better if you let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
