Soft and Spicy Ginger Cookies

These are not typical gingersnap cookies, but more like soft and moist ginger molasses cookies. Actually the recipe is very similar to my {Velvety Molasses Cookies}. 
Soft and Spicy Ginger Cookies
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 3/4 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
packed light brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, beat the oil, molasses, sugar, and egg until thickened. Stir baking soda into milk and add to. Stir in the salt and ginger. Gradually stir in the flour. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls or use a small ice cream scoop onto prepared cookie sheets. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until just set. Bottoms should be lightly browned. 
This makes about 30 cookies.
