About the Recipe

This cookie has been a family favorite for over 12 years. I have no doubt that it will continue to be a fall baking request for years to come. Truly gives that warm holiday taste and goes great with a hot coffee or cold glass of milk.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil

  • 1/4 cup molasses

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • white granulated sugar for decoration

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).


Step 2


Mix together brown sugar, oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl. TIP: measure oil first in liquid measuring cup and then molasses will easily pour out after.


Step 3


Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; stir into the molasses mixture.


Step 4


Roll dough into 1 1/2-inch balls then place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Top each ball with a generous amount of white sugar.


Step 5


Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until center is firm. Cool on wire racks.
