Recipe: Ginger Cookies

Finally posting this so that I can get that piece of paper I scribbled notes on off my desk! Original recipe from Dana as part of her dairy-free, soy-free recipes.

Ginger Cookies

Ingredients:
2 1/4 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. cooking oil
1/4 c. molasses
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 c. sugar + 1 tsp. cinnamon (for rolling in)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Combine half the flour (1 1/8 c.) with other ingredients except sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Beat on medium speed while gradually adding the rest of the flour.

Shape into 1" dough balls, roll in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Place on greased cookie sheet.

For crispy cookies, bake 11-12 min at 375 degrees. They will still be soft when removed from oven. Let sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before moving to cooling rack. (For softer cookies, bake 8+ minutes until sugar starts to crack.)
