- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Preparation
Step 1
Arrange oven racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with oil.
In medium bowl, stir flour with baking soda, cinnamon, giner, nutmeg and salt. In a large bowl, beat egg. Then beat in oil and molasses. Beat in brown sugar until evenly mixed. Gradually stir in flour mixture until well mixed.
Place sugar in a small bowl. Pinch off about 1 Tbsp dough and roll into a ball. Roll in granulated sugar until evenly coated and place on baking sheet at least 2 inches apart. Bake on 2 racks in preheated oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until cookies begin to crack and set around the edges, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove baking sheets to a rack and let cool on sheets.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze up to 1 month.
Makes 40 to 45 cookies.
