Make something good.

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with baking paper. Keep the separate coating sugar aside.

  2. 02

    Mix the batter sugar and grapeseed oil, then beat in the eggs and molasses. Mix in the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt until combined.

  3. 03

    Form about 60 small dough balls for the full working batch and roll them in the separately listed coating sugar. Leave about 2 inches between cookies for spreading. The 30 working portions each contain two cookies; the source ball size is an approximate guide.

  4. 04

    Bake until just set, using the source 9–10 minutes as a guide, then cool completely. This budget covers the base ginger snaps.

  5. 05

    Optional source toppings are not required or included in the base cost: dark-chocolate dipping uses the optional chocolate chips and optional topping butter; white-chocolate drizzle is a separate optional choice. Add those ingredients only if choosing that variation.
