Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line sheet trays with parchment paper, set aside.
Stir together the brown sugar, oil, molasses, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Slowly stir them into the wet ingredients, about a cup at a time until well combined.
Form the dough into 1.5 inch balls, and roll in powdered sugar until completely covered.
Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets and flatten the tops of each cookie until they are about 2 inches in diameter.
Bake for 13-14 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops appear dry.
Let cool on the sheet tray for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Other additions can be added to these cookies, see above for ideas.
Butter can be substituted for the vegetable oil.
You may have leftover powdered sugar, but you want to make sure that the cookies are coated in it.
These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
These can easily be doubled or halved depending on how many you are serving.
If your like your cookies slightly crispier bake for 15-16 minutes.
Light brown sugar can be used place of the dark brown sugar.
