2/3 c. oil
1 c. sugar
1 egg
4 tbsp. molasses
2 c. sifted flour
1/4 c. granulated sugar (for dipping)
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix oil and sugar thoroughly. Add egg; beat well. Stir in molasses. Sift dry ingredients together. Add to other mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour, so dough is more easily handled. Roll into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Dip in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen cookies. Stores well.
