I've got the molasses, but I'm not sure if it's black
strap or not, but my flour is self-rising.  A good
chewy oatmeal cookie is great.

I'm not sure why not black strap molasses, she just said don't use it. Maybe it's too strong.  If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder.  These cookies are literally the best oatmeal raisin cookies I've ever tasted. :)
