3/4 cup oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups plain flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix oil, molasses, eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Sift dry ingredients into the above mixture. Blend well. Chill dough for at least one hour. Roll into balls (one teaspoon). I use a cookie scoop to make ball. Roll in granulated sugar and flatten with bottom of glass.

Bake on greased cookie sheet at 375°F for 10 minutes. Do not over bake. Store in airtight tin or container.
