Soft Gingerbread Cookies (Nana Cookies)

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar. Beat in the molasses, oil, vanilla extract and egg until completely combined. Add in the dry mixture about 1 cup at a time and combine completely after each addition.

Scoop dough into balls and roll in some granulated sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Remove baking sheets from oven and allow cookies to cool on sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
