Linda Getz is a sailing friend who makes some of the best cookies. While many oatmeal cookies can be dry and tasteless, Linda’s Oatmeal Molasses Cookies are moist and delicious. Because I only had craisins on hand when I made these, I substituted those for raisins. Due to the combination of oats, chopped nuts and molasses, I also think these cookies are relatively healthy!
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the wet ingredients in a bowl (butter, molasses, eggs and Amaretto) and set aside.
Combine the dry ingredients (sugar, flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt) in another bowl.
Mix in the raisins, nuts and coconut with the dry ingredients.
Blend the wet ingredients in with the dry.
Using a small ice cream scoop, place the round balls of cookie dough on a lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Depending on the size of your small scoop, you will have 3 to 5 dozen cookies. Cool and enjoy!
