Ingredients
1
cup sugar
1/2
cup vegetable oil
1/4
cup molasses
1
egg
2
cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2
teaspoons baking soda
1/2
teaspoon salt
1/2

Preparation
Heat oven to 375°F.
In large bowl, mix 1 cup sugar, the oil, molasses and egg with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except 4 teaspoons sugar.
Divide dough in half. Pat half of dough into 14x2-inch strip on ungreased cookie sheet. Cut strip lengthwise in half; separate strips at least 3 inches. Flatten strips slightly with fork dipped in sugar to about 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle each strip with 1 teaspoon sugar. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake 6 to 7 minutes or until edges are light brown and tops appear cracked; cool 2 minutes. Cut each strip crosswise into 1-inch slices; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Store loosely covered.
