These easy Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies are chewy, loaded with cozy flavor, and the addition of molasses makes them extra delicious. Perfect for the holidays or any day!
If old-fashioned gingerbread cookies and iced oatmeal cookies had a baby, it would be these Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies.
Gingerbread oatmeal cookies have the chewy factor going for them, with slightly crispy edges.
Oats make them heartier and more satisfying in a stick-to-your-ribs kind of way than standard gingerbread recipes. The molasses and spices give these cookies bolder flavor than other oatmeal cookies.
Because of that ginger flavor, I could see these gingerbread oatmeal cookies fitting in nicely with any holiday cookie tray. I also think they’re flexible enough that you could serve them the rest of the year too, like gingerdoodles.
This is an easy drop cookie recipe, which means there are no cookie cutters or rolling pins involved. Just portion the dough into balls and let the oven do the rest!
These gingerbread oatmeal cookies are full of cozy flavor! The molasses adds so much depth and complexity, which you just can’t get from other sweeteners.
There’s a bit of room to put your own spin on these gingerbread oatmeal cookies. Add some espresso powder for a gingerbread latter flavor!
