MOLASSES GINGERBREAD COOKIES

MOLASSES GINGERBREAD COOKIES

This recipe was one of my great grandmothers... and I always like to slightly underbake them so they are crisp around the edges - chewy in the center. Because they are rolled in sugar you get a crunch that is divine~

INGREDIENTS

¾ cup canola oil
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup molasses ( i like the robust molasses... lots of GREAT flavor)
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp vanilla


Combine all wet indredients and mix well

sift together all dry ingredients and add in small batches to the wet


Chill dough. AT LEAST 45 mins

Roll into 1 inch balls.

Roll balls in granulated sugar and bake at 350° for ~ 9 to 10 mins.
