Preheat oven to 350. Prepare a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine oil and sugars, whisking until smooth.
Add molasses, vanilla, and egg, and whisk until well-combined.
Sprinkle the spices, baking soda, and flour over the wet ingredients and
fold together gently using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Either just scoop dough onto the cookie sheet 2-3 inches apart and bake as
is, or roll 1½ inch sized balls in sugar and place onto the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set and the middles are cracked.
Place cookies a piece of wax paper to cool. Cookies will stay chewy for
up to a week in an air-tight container.

*notes

These cookies aren't overly spicy, letting the molasses flavor shine. If you
want more spice use heaping teaspoons of the ginger and cinnamon.
