Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Additional sugar for rolling
Instructions:
-
Beat Salad Oil with Sugar: In a mixing bowl, combine the salad oil and sugar. Beat until the mixture is creamy and well incorporated.
-
Add Egg and Beat: Add the egg to the mixture and beat well, ensuring it’s fully combined.
-
Stir in Molasses: Gradually stir in the molasses until it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients mixture to the oil and molasses mixture, stirring until everything is well combined and forms a dough.
-
Prepare Dough for Baking: If the dough is a little soft, consider chilling it for about half an hour to firm it up. This step is optional but can help in handling the dough.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Roll Dough in Sugar: Take teaspoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls. Then, roll each ball in sugar, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Shake off any excess sugar.
-
Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and set.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful Quick Ginger Crinkles with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
