How to Make Crackle Top Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) vegetable oil and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 1 large egg, beating well until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) molasses, 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. Mix until just combined.
- Gradually add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to achieve a firm, slightly sticky dough. Do not overmix.
- Roll dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.
- Roll the dough balls in 1/3 cup (40g) granulated sugar until evenly coated.
- Place cookies 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the tops crackle. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
