Gingersnaps

I've always wanted to do a personality test based on cookie choices people make at our events. The people who choose Ginger Snaps generally seem to be the understated, physically active sort who are dressed in earth tones.

We like this recipe because the only saturated fat comes from the egg. They are crispy-chewy and we promise you won't miss the butter.

Cream together:

2/3 c. oil
1 c. white sugar
1 egg
¼ c. molasses

Stir together:

1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. cloves
½ tsp. salt

Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, form into balls and roll in granulated sugar. Place
on greased baking sheet and bake at 375 for 11-12 min. Cool on sheet for 10 min. then
cool on rack for another 10 min.
