This is one of two favorite Christmas cookie recipes I have.
2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
Regular sugar to roll balls in
Cinnamon red hots or other candies to decorate if you want to
Stir together first 6 ingredients. Combine remaining ingredients, mixing well. Add flour mixture to this and beat well. Form into balls, roll in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.
NOTE: You can try to roll out and use a cookie cutter to cut into ginger bread man shapes. I haven't tried that yet, but I do have a special gingerbread man/woman cookie sheet mold that I use. These cookies are soft and chewy, and I always get requests for them around Christmas time!
