Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • cups flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a medium to large bowl, combine the brown sugar, vegetable oil, molasses and egg. I like to mix with a fork so I don’t have to clean the mixer, but use a mixer if you like.
  • Next add the remaining ingredients (except the granulated sugar) and stir again to combine. The dough will be a little dry and crumbly.
  • Form into 1-inch balls, then dip the tops into the granulated sugar before placing them on a baking sheet, sugar side up.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes.
