Spicy Molasses Cookies

• 2 cups of wholewheat pastry flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup regular unrefined sugar for rolling
• 1/4 cup unsulphured blackstrap molasses
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil
• a pinch of salt
• 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/5 teaspoon ground clove

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350F (175C)
2. 2. Sift flour, soda, spices & salt in a bowl, mix and set aside.
3. 3. In a big bowl beat, oil, molasses, egg, and the cup of brown sugar until all is nicely combined
4. 4. Mix in the dry ingredients
5. 5. Scoop out little balls with a mini ice cream scoop, about a tablespoon size.
6. 6. Roll them gently in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar saved aside, don't flatten
7. 7. Bake for about 7-8 minutes until the cookies get beautiful cracks and edges look done. I am sure you could bake them longer if you like them crisp, but I haven't tried that.
8. 8. Let them cool on the sheet, transfer to a rack and store them in air tight container then cool.
