Ingredients

1 cup canola oil
2 ¼ cups granulated sugar divided
⅓ cup molasses
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 TBSP baking soda
1 TBSP ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground cloves

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
Dough: In a large bowl cream the canola oil and 1 ¾ cups sugar using an electric mixer. Add in molasses and egg, mix until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Add the dry ingredients to the wet molasses mixture and stir until combined.
In a separate small bowl add the remaining ½ cup of sugar. Use a large cookie scoop (3 TBSP) to form 2-inch balls and roll them in the sugar.
Bake: Arrange six cookies on each prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve and enjoy!
