Happy Friday! This week went by so quick! It is also soon December and I am really looking forward to my mom and my step-father visiting for Christmas! I’m really curious to see what the weather will be during that time, hopefully not to much snow;) For now it’s been raining a lot and we even had some snow.
With the holiday season just around the corner I am starting to think of baking cookies, there are so many yummy cookies and I would like to try them all, unfortunately it is usually just to much for the 4 of us, lol.
I ring in the weekend with myย Gingerbread Latteย and made some Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches. I just spiced up my go-to oatmeal cookie recipe, added some molasses and gingerbread spice, so delicious! Buttercream filling is optional, they are very tasty without, but there is just something about cookie sandwiches! Love the smell of all these spices!!
Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookie Sandwiches
Yields: 16 large, 8 cookie sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- or 2/3 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup sugar

- 2 tsp gingerbread spice mix (cinnamon, ginger, star anise, anise, clove, coriander)
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups oats
-Preheat oven to 375F/180C. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-In a medium bowl mix together coconut oil, eggs, molasses and coconut sugar. Add the salt and spices. Stir in flour, baking soda and oats until well combined
-Drop by tbsp as big as you desire, leaving some space between cookies. Sprinkle with some coconut sugar, optional.
-Bake 9-11 minutes, until slightly browned at the bottom, do not overbake.

-Optional: Using your favorite buttercream, sandwich two cookies together. (add a little cinnamon to the buttercream)
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
Enjoy!

Hi Mary!! That would be so beautiful!! We are having terrible winds– and wildfires. Our kids have been evacuated from their house– Jodi and the girls are and Micah is still in Ojai with the students (they have about 40 boarding students) and we’re waiting to see if the fire has reached the school and their home. Praying all is safe. hugs hugs friend.
