Snapless Gingersnaps

Jaymi Herrmann submitted this recipe in a cookbook that was put together in Georgia, and it is a favorite of many!

Snapless Gingersnaps

1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup cooking oil
1/4 cup dark molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt

Combine sugar, oil, molasses and egg. Mix well. Stir together remaining ingredients in a separate bowl. Gradually blend into molasses mixture. Form into 1-inch balls (tbsp). Roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart on greased cooking sheet. Bake at 375 for 4 to 7 minutes. Approx. 4 dozen.

Jaymi's cooking tip: measure your oil into a glass-measuring cup, and then add the molasses to the same measuring cup. The oil will help the molasses slide right out.
