How to cook deliciously - Lunchbox Ginger Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat 3 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Place white sugar in a small, shallow bowl.

2. Stage

Combine brown sugar, canola oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until blended.

3. Stage

Stir together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, grated ginger, cloves, salt, and cayenne pepper in a second bowl. Add flour mixture to the molasses-egg mixture. Blend well; dough will be quite thick. Dough may be refrigerated or shaped at this time.
