Yields1 Serving

2 Tbsp. butter, softened

2 Tbsp. canola oil

1/3 cup dark molasses

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

2 tsp. vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp. baking soda

1 Tbsp. cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. ground allspice

1/4 tsp. salt

extra sugar, for rolling

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine the oil, butter, molasses, brown sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir until well blended and smooth.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt; add to the molasses mixture and stir by hand just until you have a soft dough.

Roll dough into 1"–1 1/2" balls and roll the balls in sugar to coat. Place about 2" apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray.

Bake for 12–14 minutes, until just set around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool or serve warm. Store extras in an airtight container or freeze. Makes 20 cookies.
