# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Give oats about 10-12 quick pulses in your food processor until you get different sizes with some powder.
02 -
In a medium bowl, stir together the ground oats, flour, coffee powder, baking soda, salt, and all your spices.
03 -
Using medium-high speed, beat the butter with both sugars for about 2 minutes until fluffy. Then add your egg and molasses and beat another minute.
04 -
On low speed, slowly add your dry mix into the wet ingredients. Put the dough in the fridge for 30-45 minutes.
05 -
Roll dough into 1.5 tablespoon balls and put them 3 inches from each other. Cook at 350°F for 12-13 minutes until the edges turn light brown.
06 -
Mix melted white chocolate with oil and coffee powder. Dunk half of each cooled cookie in this mix, add a sprinkle of spices, then chill until firm.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Always pick chocolate bars instead of chips - they melt way better.
02 -
You can make your dough up to 3 days early and keep it cold.
03 -
Skip the blackstrap type of molasses for this recipe.
