Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, molasses, oil, egg, and vanilla.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until fully combined.

Cover the bowl and chill in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.

When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and roll in the powdered sugar.

Place cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until puffed up and cracked.

Allow cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet before removing.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Dough for Perfect Crinkles 🧊
Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before scooping; cold dough spreads slowly and creates those signature deep crinkles when the powdered sugar coating cracks during baking.
Toast Your Spices First 🌶️
Lightly toast the ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes before mixing into the dough to intensify their warm, complex flavors dramatically.
Oil Over Butter for Chewiness 🫒
The neutral oil in this recipe keeps cookies tender and chewy longer than butter would; don't substitute butter as it creates a crisper texture that defeats the purpose of this style.
Double-Coat the Powdered Sugar ✨
Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar, then refrigerate for 15 minutes and roll again in fresh powdered sugar for thicker, more dramatic crinkles that look bakery-quality.
Underbake Slightly for Softness 🕐
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underdone; they'll continue cooking on the pan and stay impossibly soft throughout.
