Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line the baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift all dry ingredients and set aside.
2¾ cup All-purpose flour, ¾ tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon Ginger, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Clove
Use the paddle attachment and beat the oil and both sugars until well mixed and smooth.
1 cup Oil, ¾ cup Granulated sugar, ½ cup Brown sugar
Add the molasses and mix.
⅓ cup Molasses
Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla extract and mix.
1 Egg, 1 Yolk, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Add the dry ingredients in three passes and mix until there is no trace of dry ingredients. Do Not Overmix.
Make small dough balls the size of a small tangerine.
Place the granulated and powdered sugar in two separate bowls.
½ cup Granulated sugar, ¾ cup Powdered sugar
Roll the cookie dough in the granulated sugar first and then into the powdered sugar.
Place them on the cookie sheet with a 2-inch space between them.
Bake them for 10-12 minutes. They are done when the surface has cracked, and the edges are set.
Go around the cookies with a spoon and correct the edges immediately after they come out of the oven.
Let them cool down on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer them to the cooling rack to cool down completely.
