Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown demerara sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350C / 175F degrees.
- Mix the granulated and demerara sugar, oil, egg, and molasses until well-combined.
- Then using a wooden spoon, mix in the remaining ingredients until all the flour is absorbed.
- The dough will seem dry at first but will come together, so do not stress about it.
- If necessary, add 1-2 tsp of water.
- Use your hands to roll the dough into 1.5-inch balls (we used a 12.5 ml measuring spoon), then roll the balls in coarse sugar.
- Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet (slightly, very softly flatten them as they will spread on their own as well) and bake at 350C / 175F degrees for 10 minutes.
- Please don’t overbake these cookies! Max of ONE extra minute if needed.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy!!
- They are superb and we will for sure make them again.
