  • Roll cookie dough into balls and bake for 10-12 minutes or just until cookie start to appear golden on the edges. Cookies might appear soft but don't over bake them.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on baking tray for 5-7 minutes and allow to cool on wire rack further.

Notes

Storage Information:

  • The cookies will stay fresh for about 3-4 days at room temp covered tightly.
  • Both baked cookies and unbaked cookie dough balls can be frozen. Thaw baked cookies on the counter top overnight before serving. No need to thaw unbaked cookie dough balls. Just bake them for an extra minute.
Quick Oats Substitution: If you don't have them in pantry, just quickly pulse old fashioned oats a few times and use them instead. Check the image above for their texture.
To measure out ½ of an egg:
Lightly whisk an egg and measure out 2 tablespoons out of it and add it to this cookie dough.
Fun Fact: You will be left with 2 tablespoons of egg.
You may use it to bake these Small Batch Molasses Cookies or double the ingredients and bake a big batch of monster cookies! ;)
