Ingredients:  
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses

1 3/4 cup flour
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º

Mix the sugars, oil, egg and molasses until well-combined. Then using a wooden spoon, mix in the remaining ingredients until all the flour is absorbed. The dough will seem dry at first, but will come together. If necessary, add 1-2 tsp of water.

Use your hands to roll the dough into 1.5 inch balls, then roll the balls in coarse sugar. Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet (no need to flatten them, they will spread out on their own), and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes *don't overbake these cookies! Max 1 extra minute... if you must ;)

Allow the cookies to cool on their baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
