Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon kosher salt; 4 teaspoons baking soda; 4 teaspoons ground ginger; 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1 1/3 cup vegetable, canola or sunflower oil; 2 cups granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1/2 cup unsulphured molasses; Additional granulated sugar for rolling the cookies

Servings: persons

1
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0F.
2
Lightly grease two cookies sheets with non-stick cooking spray or butter and line them with parchment paper.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon and set aside.
4
Using and electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the oil, sugar and eggs on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and light. Beat in the eggs, one at time, followed by the molasses, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. On low speed, beat in the dry ingredients to make a firm dough.
5
Place some granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Using lightly floured fingers, form the dough into 3/4-inch balls. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar to evenly coat them. Place the cookies on baking sheets, evenly spaced and inch apart, and lightly press them with your fingers to flatten them slightly.
6
Bake the cookies until they are puffed, cracked, and lightly golden brown, about 16 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans 180u00b0 halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for two or three minutes, then use a spatula to gently transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Store the cookies in an airtight container, kept in a cool, dry place, for up to a week.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
