Ginger Crinkles Cookies

I haven't yet posted a cookie recipe, so here is my favorite! Besides the fact that I love ginger, these cookies are so easy to make and you don't have to run out to buy any of the simple ingredients (well, I know I usually have them all in my pantry) It's also a fun recipe to make with the kids. At Christmas time, I make dozens of these to give away (after I get sick of eating them)!

Ingredients:
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
In bowl, whisk oil with sugar. Whisk in egg until smooth, then whisk in molasses.
In separate bowl, combine all the remaining dry ingredients. Stir this in to the oil mixture until moist dough forms. Using 1 tablespoon dough per cookie, roll in to balls. Roll the balls in the sugar to coat. 
Bake on lightly greased cookie sheets in 375 degree oven for about 12 minutes (until flattened, cracked & golden). Let cool completely. Makes 36 cookies.
