Soft Molasses Cookies

My sister and I were watching Leslie from "The Farming Pastor's Wife" YouTube channel one Saturday morning.  She was making these wonderful molasses cookies.  My sister "twisted my arm" into making them. They are a delicious Fall cookie that I plan on making often. Make sure to follow "The Farming Pastor's Wife" for many more wonderful recipes.

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp cloves

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt 

1 egg

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup vegetable oil

1/4 cup molasses*

Mix together all the dry ingredients.  Set aside.

Using a stand mixer, combine the egg, sugar, oil and molasses. Gradually, add the dry ingredients until combined.

Chill dough for 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 375F.

Scoop dough into balls, roll in sugar, place on a lightly greased or parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.

*I used full-flavor molasses, however, you can use mild molasses if you wish to have a milder flavor.
