I love oatmeal cookies, especially old fashioned gooey oatmeal cookies! I know the world loves oatmeal raisin cookies but I'm sorry, I prefer chocolate chips in mine. #SorryNotSorry
In the midst of an oatmeal cookie craving recently I panicked. I had everything I needed except brown sugar and I wasn't at all interested in going to the store to get some. Ugh, I was pretty emotionally invested in having oatmeal cookies. I needed to focus.
I did a quick google search and realized I could make brown sugar if I happened to have molasses. Why would I have molasses? Holy crap, I have molasses and it's never been opened! When did I buy this? Wait. OMG I can make brown sugar and have oatmeal cookies to munch on while I watch ALL the episodes of Criminal Minds on A&E.
Seriously, 1 1/2 tsp of molasses mixed with a cup granulated sugar and bam = brown sugar for my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
