Molasses Sugar Cookies

3/4 cup oil

1 egg
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon

additional sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil and molasses. Add egg; mix well. Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger and cloves; add to sugar mixture and mix well. Refrigerate 4 hours or until easy to handle (I skipped this step).

2. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in additional sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until tops crack and edges are set. Cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
