Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes
Servings 2 Dozen

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup 50g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon molasses
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup cocoa nibs
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Instructions

  1. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and the sugars.
  2. Scrape down the sides. Add one egg at a time and beat for a minute in between each addition. Mix in the vanilla and molasses. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until just combined.
  4. Add in the oats, cocoa nibs, and walnuts. Mix on low to combine.
  5. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for an hour.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set off to the side.
  7. Scoop out about 1 and ½ tablespoons worth of dough, roll into a ball, and then place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden on the edges. Let them sit on the cookie sheet for two minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
