In reply to Melrose. Hi, Melrose-- dark molasses will work just fine! Light or dark work in this recipe. You just don't want black strap which is not meant for baking.

Hi
What if I only have dark molasses
Would the cookie not work?

How are there no ratings on this yet?? THIS COOKIE WAS DELICIOUS!! I bake a lot of cookies, and my partner and I both rank this in our top 5 that I’ve made. Seriously, excellent flavor and the oatmeal texture was divine. I added the spices when I creamed the butter & sugar for better flavor. And loved that there’s no need to peel or pre-cook the apple before adding it to the cookie.
I did make the mistake of adding a little extra flour because my dough was so sticky (had to refrigerate it) so my cookies weren’t quite as bendy but that’s 100% on me.
