Instructions

In a medium bowl sift together flour, spices, and salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vegetable, egg and molasses until well combined. Scrape down the bowl and beat again.
Gradually add in dry ingredients and beat until well combined. Transfer dough to refrigerator (either in an airtight container or shaped in a disc and wrapped in plastic), let chill for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the granulated sugar. Place on baking sheet with two inches between each cookie.
Bake for 9-10 minutes until the surface of the cookies cracks and looks just dry. Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a rack to let cool completely.
