Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 29m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup canola oil
¼ cup dark molasses
1 egg
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Combine brown sugar, canola oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until blended.
  • 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.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll lightly in white sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, 1 sheet at a time, for exactly 9 minutes. Cookies will still be soft, but will become crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside as they cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cookie dough. Not all cookie doughs are created equal. Some are more suited for lunchbox packing than others. Look for a dough that is firm enough to hold its shape but not so dry that it crumbles. You also want a dough that is not too sticky, as this will make it difficult to work with.
  • Shape the cookies properly. The shape of your cookies will affect how well they pack and how easy they are to eat. Avoid making cookies that are too large or too thin, as these are more likely to break or crumble. Instead, opt for small, round or square cookies that are about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  • Bake the cookies properly. It is important to bake the cookies until they are just done, as overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Check the cookies a few minutes before the recommended baking time to ensure that they are not overbaked.
  • Cool the cookies completely. Before packing the cookies in your lunchbox, allow them to cool completely. This will help them to set and firm up, making them less likely to break or crumble.
  • Pack the cookies carefully. When packing the cookies in your lunchbox, be sure to use a container that is airtight and leak-proof. This will help to keep the cookies fresh and prevent them from drying out.

Conclusion:

With a little planning and preparation, you can easily pack delicious and nutritious cookies in your lunchbox. By following these tips, you can ensure that your cookies will stay fresh and tasty all day long. So next time you're packing your lunch, be sure to include a few homemade cookies for a sweet and satisfying treat.
