  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tsp. soda in a little hot water

Preparation

Step 1

Combine oatmeal, flour, sugar, shortening, ginger, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and rub together like making pie crust. Add the eggs, molasses, and soda dissolved in water.
Drop by small spoonsful onto cookie sheet and flatten with a fork. Leave plenty of space between because they spread out a lot.
