Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 large eggs or 2 egg whites or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat bran or 1/2 cup wheat bran
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 cup sugar
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the oil, egg, 1 cup sugar and molasses and mix very well.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, oats, bran, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves.
Stir the flour mixture into the sugar mixture until well-blended.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (This is for easier handling).
Heat oven to 375 F.
Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the 1/4 cup sugar.
Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets and flatten the cookies with the bottom of a drinking glass, dipped in sugar.
Bake at 375 F for 7-10 minutes until cookies are set and tops are crackle-y.
Let cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet, then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
