Gingersnaps

Gingersnaps are one of my favorites cookies.  My daughter, Nicole,  made these yesterday and they are disappearing fast.

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

1-1/2 cups vegetable oil

2 eggs

1/2 cup molasses

4 cups flour

4 teaspoons baking soda

1 tablespoon ground ginger

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and oil.  Beat in eggs.  Stir in molasses.  Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.

Shape into 3/4 inch balls and roll in sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on  ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until cookie springs back when lightly touched. Remove to wire racks to cool.

Yield:  about 8 dozen
