3 Cookie Recipes from Our Childhood

Molasses cookies, oatmeal, fig… we all have childhood memories of a favourite cookie. Now’s the perfect time to make a homemade version of these classics, just in time for the new school year. Enjoy them with a tall glass of milk while reminiscing about the good ol’ days on the playground.

1. Dad’sTM-Style Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies are a classic childhood staple. Here’s an equally delicious homemade recipe made with homemade raisin paste, which gives each bite a rich caramelized flavour. Simply pulse the paste with oats, cinnamon and the rest of your ingredients in a food processor to create a firm cookie that keeps well. It’s the perfect treat for kids and adults alike.

2. Newton’sTM-Style Fig Cookies

Here’s a recipe guaranteed to be a hit at snack time. Packed with a lovely fig filling, these crumbly, buttery cookies easily outshine anything you’ll buy at the store. While making them takes a little extra effort, the warm and freshly baked reward will be worth it. And they grow even softer and more tender over time. One bite from the cookie jar and you’ll instantly feel eight years old again, even if only for a moment.

3. Bear PawsTM-Style Soft Molasses Cookies

Ditch the plastic-wrapped store-bought cookies in favour of this homemade version. Loaded with cozy spices, brown sugar and molasses, they stay perfectly soft without drying out, delivering all the nostalgic comfort of a recipe straight from grandma’s kitchen. For an even softer and plumper texture, add sour cream to the dough for cookies that are sure to vanish fast!
