Happy Friday! I made cookies!
Most of the time when I decide to bake something, it’s because I’ve stumbled upon a recipe that I want to try right then or I’m hit with a sudden craving for whatever it is but the other day I was in a mood to bake and for the life of me couldn’t come up with anything that sounded good. I went digging through my cookbooks and found this gem.
I know, they look like your typical chocolate chip cookies with some nuts and oats thrown in. But they’re not! They are the most amazing chocolate chip cookies with some nuts and oats thrown in!
No, but seriously, they have a teensy bit of molasses in them and it totally makes the cookie. It’s not so apparent that you’re like OMGWHYARETHERECHOCOLATECHIPSINMYMOLASSESCOOKIE but it definitely adds a little somethin’ somethin’.
I think I say this every time I make a cookie but this is my new favorite and I’ve officially hidden them from myself so that they aren’t staring me down every time I walk into the kitchen.

Chocolate-Oatmeal-Pecan Cookies
adapted from Tartine
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 4 teaspoons molasses
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment; set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in oats; set aside.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light in color and fluffy. Add the molasses and beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in milk and vanilla. Add in the dry ingredients and bet until just incorporated. Remove from stand mixer and fold in the chocolate chips and pecans.
- Use a cookie scoop (or your hands) to put ping-pong ball-sized balls of dough on prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple inches between each one. Flatten slightly with your hands.

Haha, story of my life – want to bake but cannot decide what for the life of me! These cookies sound fantastic, I’m so intrigued by the molasses. They look wonderfully chewy!
Jody @ the hobby room says
Molasses in cookies is the best! I mean, I do like a good molasses cookie on it’s own, but all the other cookies that taste particularly good always have molasses in them. And chocolate chips are good in anything, so you have all the elements for cookie awesomeness!

Christina @ Sweet Pea's Kitchen says
