Instructions
- 1
Cream the butter and brown sugar, then beat in the molasses and eggs.
- 2
Stir in the flour, oats, soda, spices and salt.
- 3
Chill the dough 30 minutes so it handles cleanly.
- 4
Roll walnut-sized balls, flatten slightly on lined sheets and space them well.
- 5
Bake at 180C for 10-12 minutes; they should still look soft in the middle.
- 6
Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before moving.
Chef's tips
