# Instructions:
01 -
Give oats about 10-12 quick pulses in your food processor until you get different textures with some powdery bits.
02 -
In a medium bowl, stir together the processed oats, flour, coffee powder, baking soda, salt, and all your spices.
03 -
Using medium-high speed, mix butter with both sugars for about 2 minutes till fluffy. Then add your egg and molasses and beat another minute.
04 -
On low speed, gradually add your dry mix into the wet ingredients. Let the dough cool in fridge for 30-45 minutes.
05 -
Form 1.5 tablespoon balls of dough and put them 3 inches from each other. Cook at 350°F until the edges turn light brown, about 12-13 minutes.
06 -
Mix melted white chocolate with oil and coffee powder. Once cookies are cool, dip half of each cookie and add a sprinkle of spices. Chill in fridge until set.
# Notes:
01 -
Go for white chocolate bars instead of chips for smoother melting.
02 -
You can make the dough up to 3 days ahead and keep it in the fridge.
03 -
Stay away from blackstrap molasses for this recipe.
