• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• ¾ cup canola oil
• ¼ cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 2 cups AP flour
• 2 t baking soda
• ¼ t salt
• ½ t ground cloves
• 1 t cinnamon
• 1 ½ T (1 T plus 1.5t) ground ginger**
• Sugar for rolling

METHOD

Preheat oven to 375°

Mix together brown sugar, oil, molasses and egg.

Sift together the flour, soda, salt and spices; stir into molasses mixture. Roll dough into balls and roll each ball in the sugar. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly with the heel of your hand.

Bake 8-9 minutes in the middle of your oven, turning sheet pans halfway thru baking.

They’re best when just set and cracked – to have them remain chewy they should be a deeper brown and set.

** If you have crystallized ginger, use it!  I do a combination of finely chopped crystal ginger and ground ginger.
