Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) butter
375 mL (1 ½ cups) brown sugar
Pinch salt
2 eggs
7 mL (1 ½ tsp) vanilla
60 mL (¼ cup) molasses
500 mL (2 cups) flour
2 mL (½ tsp) baking powder
2 mL (½ tsp) baking soda
2 mL (½ tsp) ground cinnamon
1 mL (¼ tsp) ground mace
1 mL (¼ tsp) ground cloves
1 mL (¼ tsp) ground allspice
250 mL (1 cup) rolled oats
250 mL (1 cup) raisins
250 mL (1 cup) pecans, chopped
Method:
Cream together the butter, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
Beat in the two eggs, one at a time.
Beat in the vanilla, and molasses.
In a small bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon,mace, cloves, and allspice.
Mix the oats into the butter sugar mixture, and then mix in the flour mixture.
Stir in the nuts and raisins.
The dough will be very loose, it can benefit from an hour in the fridge before baking.
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
Scoop out the dough using a tablespoon or #50 scoop onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
I will once again be flying in the Give Hope Wings fundraiser this year! Our June of 2024 flight will see us stop in many communities in Eastern Canada to raise awareness for this worthy cause.
Last year 2023 we raised over $27,000 towards helping our neighbours - we made a positive difference in the lives of many.

Hello, as someone who received aid from Hope Air a year ago. I'd like to thank you Glen and everyone who supports Hope Air. It takes a lot of people to save someone's life. Hope Air took care of me getting me to and from Ottawa for a life saving Stem Cell transplant. As much as this world seems to be imploding on itself.. people still help one another and there are a lot of beautiful things to live for and fight for. I'm grateful for and I love you all. Also, I grew up in a rural town in Newfoundland. Molasses anything is part of the culture, thanks for making these as well! J

Vanilla, cinnamon, and garlic are measured with the heart.

Glen: Baking is a science. Measure CAREFULLY! Also Glen: pours vanilla and molasses straight from the containers 😂😂😂 We love you, Glen!!!

in the food service industry the number of the scoop is the amount of scoops it takes to fill a quart measure. #8 scoop is half cup, #16 is fourth cup, etc. I looked up #50 and it is a heaping teaspoon or 1.28 teaspoon
-
I love it. You must measure carefully when baking- as you dump it in til you like the look of it🤣🤣
-
Incredibly important to measure…as he pours in molasses without measuring….😂. Love me some Glen and friends in the morning

My mother used to send me pumpkin cookies when I was in college. She used the same recipe and made a pumpkin cake. It is the same thing as what you are doing here. I understand.
-
Hiya. You have listed 92 cups of flour. I think the 9 should be a (.
-
Very funny, Glen. I do a lot of baking. Those of us who do a lot of baking know that it is not a science ... there's room to have fun and be free.
-
I love that Glen has given me permissiin to eat cookies today! Yeah!
-
I just had the opportunity to make these. Definitely a winner.
-
Batter looks wonderful!!
-
Glen, thanks for doing the flying for the people who need it.
-
I've lived in NS my whole life, and I love cookies. I've never heard of these before. They look awesome though
-
Watched this one back to front ... saw the flight first now I'm here for the recipe! 😁 Your Arctic flight this August sounds exciting! I hope the wildfires ease up and that flight happens!! I'm also looking forward to your East Coast flight for Hope Air as well! 🛩🍪🍪

This is so great!
-
Cookies!🥰
-
Gave these a try today. I think they will be good with tea. Would prefer a stronger molasses flavor and oddly enough I feel like a pinch of salt isn't quite enough. But still good and not too sweet. Fly safely and God go with you, Glen and Jules!

I have a similar family recipe (hand written recipe card and all that) that was labeled "Molasses Drop Cookies" -- the ratios are very much the same, as is the spicing, but it doesn't include fruit or nuts and calls for "cold coffee - strong" instead of eggs (in approximately the same volume)
