Recipe Introduction

They are large, soft and chewy!!

List of Ingredients

2 2/3 cups oil
4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup molasses
6 1/2 cups flour
2 2/3 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
1 1/3 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/3 tsp. ground ginger


Recipe

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 375*. Roll the dough into balls the size of walnuts. (If you want smaller cookies, made the balls smaller; be sure and adjust the time). Roll balls in sugar and press down slightly on cookie sheet, spacing 2 inches apart (they will expand) and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool for about 1 minute on cookie sheet and transfer to wire rack.
These make alot of cookies, I usually half the recipe using(amounts above). These will stay chewy even if left out for awhile. Do not overbake.
