| ⅔ | cup | Vegetable oil |
| 1 | cup | Sugar |
| ¼ | cup | Molasses |
| 1 | Egg | |
| 2 | cups | Flour |
| 2 | teaspoons | Baking soda |
| ½ | teaspoon | Cloves |
| ½ | teaspoon | Ginger |
| 1 | teaspoon | Cinnamon |
| ¼ | teaspoon | Salt |
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the vegetable oil, sugar, molasses and egg into a mixing bowl and using a spoon, beat until well mixed.
Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and stir with a fork until well mixed.
Add to the liquid ingredients and stir until blended.
To make 2½-inch round cookies use 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie (I use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, but you can roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-size balls by hand if you don't have a scoop.) Drop the dough 2-inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Pat each rounded ball down just a trifle.
Bake for 10 or 11 minutes.
Yields 48 cookies
