Molasses Cookies
----------------

1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup canola oil or other form of melted shortening
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup applesauce
2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp granulated sugar

Directions:

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix brown sugar, oil, molasses, and applesauce in a
large bowl with a fork or an electric mixer if you're lazy. Mix the dry
ingredients together (except for the granulated sugar) in a separate bowl and
then combine with the rest of the ingredients.

Make tablespoon-sized balls of dough and roll in the sugar. Then place 1-2
inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake for 13-16 minutes or until set (appears dry). Let cool and enjoy!
