DASH. OF. THIS. AND. THAT

 

Dark Molasses Crinkles

 

This chewy, packed with flavor cookie has some serious molasses flavor.  Dark molasses intensifies the taste- they disappear quickly.

1/2 cup molasses

1 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

1 stick butter, softened

2 tablespoons oil

1 egg

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

 

extra sugar for rolling

 

                                                                                                                                                                 Preheat oven to 365º
