These cookies are a gift from God. I'm serious, y'all! They are gooey, delicious, and huge - hence the name. These cookies are one of my favorite Christmas cookies!
Makes 18 Cookies
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 twelve-ounce package, semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (5 ounces) chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ginger in a medium bowl.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream vegetable shortening and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add molasses and beat to combine. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until fully incorporated. Add the flour mixture one cup at a time, beating on low speed until dough comes together. Remove bowl from mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in chocolate chips, oats, walnuts, and raisins.
3. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake until firm, 15-18 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to wire rack to cook completely.
