Serves 10
INGREDIENTS:
  • 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 1/3 cup dark molasses
  • 1 cup packed golden brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Granulated sugar
  • Glaze
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 Tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp orange oil
  • Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 2 baking sheets.

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

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and salt.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients to form a soft dough. Roll dough into 1″-1½” balls then roll balls in granulated sugar to coat. Place about 2″ apart on prepared baking sheets.

Bake until just set around edges, 12-14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool or serve warm.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sugar, milk and orange oil and stir until smooth. Drizzle over cool cookies.
