Ingredients
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. molasses, preferably Grandma’s
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar, plus more for rolling
1 large egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Preparation
Step 1In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cloves. Step 2In a large bowl, whisk together oil, molasses, sugars, egg, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until just combined. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Step 3Preheat oven to 350° and line two baking sheets with parchment. Add sugar to a small bowl. Step 4Using a large cookie scoop (about 3 tablespoons), scoop chilled dough directly into sugar and roll to coat, then place on prepared baking sheet 3” apart. Dough will still be very soft and won’t hold its shape completely. Step 5Bake until edges are barely set and tops are crinkled, but centers are still soft, 14 to 15 minutes. Step 6Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to let cool completely.
