By Diana Rattray, About.com

Oatmeal cookie recipe with molasses, dark brown sugar, and ginger.

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour, stir before measuring
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

Preparation:

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and ginger; stir to blend well. Add shortening, butter, sugar, egg, molasses, and buttermilk. Beat until well blended. Stir in oats. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Divide dough in half and work with one portion at a time, keeping the other portion in the refrigerated. On a floured surface with floured rolling pin, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out with 3-inch floured cookie cutter. With a spatula, transfer cookies to greased baking sheets, placing about 2 inches apart. Bake at 350° for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

Ice these cookies with your favorite icing or glaze, if desired.
