Sorghum Molasses Oatmeal Cookies

Submitted by BakinBaby

"These cookies are very flavorful, not at all like the typical oatmeal cookie. If Sorghum isn't available in your neck of the woods, you can certainly substitute Molasses. For those that like raisins or chocolate chips, add as necessary. Some of our family doesn't appreciate the taste of chips or raisins, so I make some plain, and some with."

These turned out so GOOD!! I did not add the raisins or the chocolate chips due to what I had on hand. These cookies are so chewy and just darn good. Yum. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

An excellent afternoon snack. I added not as much sugar or as many mini chocolate chips to reduce sweetness. Still sweet and delicious.

Very good. I added an extra teaspoon of cinnamon and a little coconut. I did not add the chocolate chips. Family devoured them.

Just made these cookies and they were delicious. I subbed a seasonal pumpkin spice chip for the chocolate chips. They were moist and chewy with a little crispy edge that tasted a bit like caramel. Yum!
