I made these for a family gathering they were AWESOME!! I added the extra flour for the cookies so I don’t know what they were like prior to the extra flour. I did not add extra powdered sugar and could taste to salt. The salt taste wasn’t bad I thought it evened out the sweetness of the cookies but on my sweeter days extra sugar would be good. I will make these again. Usually when I make bake goods they are gone as the hit the door. Everyone wasn’t sure especially those who don’t like oatmeal things. Once everyone tried them they were gone and couldn’t get over how delicious they were.

Thanks for the reply. Blackstrap has a strong flavor, so I’ll combine it with more brown sugar, just in case. Thanks! I may make these today.

Thanks! I’m definitely going to check out that shortening. I’ve been coming across more and more recipes that call for shortening lately and I just hate using it, so this looks like a good alternative.

I honestly don’t know as I don’t think I’ve ever tried that kind of molasses, but since the recipe only calls for a tablespoon, I’d say it would probably be fine. It might affect the taste a little bit if that molasses tastes really different from normal molasses, but I doubt it would be detrimental since it’s such a small amount.

Would blackstrap molasses taste okay in this recipe? I don’t have the regular kind.

Thanks!

Thanks, Lisa! I think the original recipe said margarine, but I’ve become one of those annoying butter snobs and I don’t user margarine for baking anymore. LOL! It’s a personal preference as far as using butter or margarine.

I had changed it to butter in the ingredients list since that’s what I used and completely overlooked it in the instructions. I just changed it now. Sorry for the confusion!
