Ginger Bends (Soft Gingersnaps)


4 cups flour 1 ½ cups cooking oil
4 tsp. soda 2 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt 2 eggs
2 Tbsp. ginger ½ c. molasses
2 tsp. cinnamon

Sift dry ingredients together and set aside. With beater, blend together thoroughly the oil, sugar, eggs, and molasses. Stir in dry ingredients until blended. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Form into balls, using 1 tsp. dough for each. Roll in granulated sugar and bake on ungreased baking sheet at 350 for 8 minutes [takes 9 minutes in my oven—KV]. Cool on rack. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Variation: Roll chilled dough ¼-inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Decorate with slices of gumdrops, candy corn, red cinnamon candies, etc. for features; then bake. They really are a hit!
