Title: Shaker Spice Cookies
Categories: Cookie
Yield: 6 Servings

		Stephen Ceideburg
2/3	c	Vegetable oil
1	c	Sugar
1/4	c	Molasses
1		Egg
2	c	Flour
2	ts	Baking soda
1/2	ts	Cloves
1/2	ts	Ginger
1	ts	Cinnamon
1/4	ts	Salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the vegetable oil, sugar, molasses and egg into a mixing bowl and using a spoon, beat until well mixed.

Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and stir with a fork until well mixed.

Add to the liquid ingredients and stir until blended.

To make 2 1/2-inch round cookies use 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie (I use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, but you can roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-size balls by hand if you don't have a scoop.) Drop the dough 2-inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Pat each rounded ball down just a trifle.

Bake for 10 or 11 minutes.

Yields 48 cookies
