Roland’s Aunt Vivian use to make Ginger Crinkles. I got the recipe from my dear friend and SIL Chris 25 years ago, the first Christmas that Roland and I had together. They have been a family tradition. They are crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle. So good.
Aunt Vivian’s Ginger Crinkles
2/3 c canola oil
1 c sugar
1 egg
4 T molasses
2 c flour
2 t soda
½ t salt
1 t ginger (I add a pinch more for the heat)
¼ c sugar (for dipping)
Mix oil and sugar together, add egg and beat well. Stir in molasses. Add dry ingredients and mix until blended. Shape dough into balls and roll balls in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies will flatten and crinkle.
Bake at 350 for 9 minutes. Cool and remove to wire rack.

I like to make the cookies small so you can eat them in one medium bite or 2 little ones. When Gabe was young he thought they tasted like soap – he didn’t much care for the ginger. He loves them now.

And the best thing about them is that they seem to stack very nicely!! That's important to a cookie.

I'll take two please. I love ginger cookies. It's times like these that I wish I baked.
Got to love ginger crinkles! My recipe for those always said "From Aunt Vivian" but honestly I didn't know whose aunt she was. Glad I know now! And yes, these are one of my favorite Christmas treats. Gingery bliss!
