In reply to Carly.

Hi, Carly– that’s a great question. Black strap is VERY bitter and better utilized for savory dishes. Regular molasses has a slightly sweet taste and lends itself to baked goods. If you’re able to get your hands on some regular molasses, that would be ideal, but since the molasses is JUST in the icing, you could attempt to make it using just a touch of the blackstrap (maybe like 1 teaspoon??) and see how that goes. Let me know if you try it! I’m curious now myself 🙂

Curious why you don’t recommend using blackstrap molasses? I plan on making these this weekend and blackstrap is all I have.

Good recipe, very easy to make and best of all: no refrigeration!
However, I discovered I don’t like the flavor of molasses so I had a hard time with the icing. I steadily added more cream and sugar to weaken the molasses flavor. I also added about 2 tsp of cinnamon to the icing. After all that and putting the icing on the cookies, it tasted tolerable.
I also added 1 tsp of ginger to the cookie dough.

I used to avoid molasses, but now I love using it in spicy cookies. I’m sure it’s the perfect addition to these oatmeal cookies. Wishing you the happiest of holidays, Lynn!
