Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (170g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- 1 and 2/3 cups (210g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3/4 cup (12 Tbsp; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup (60ml/75g) unsulphured or dark molasses
- 8 ounces (226g) white chocolate, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder
- Pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg, for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Pulse the oats in a food processor 10–12 times until you have a variety of texture—chopped oats with some oat flour.
- Whisk the pulsed oats, flour, espresso powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamed, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and molasses and beat until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Cover and chill the dough for 30–45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop dough onto baking sheets, placing them 3 inches apart. Bake for 12–13 minutes until lightly browned around the edges.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Melt white chocolate, oil, and espresso powder together. Dip each cookie halfway in the chocolate, sprinkle with spices, and refrigerate until set.
