Turned out perfect, just like the pics. Because I read the reviews first, I have to say, some of you must have done something wrong, because they weren't gooey and wet when I rolled them.

Method

Preheat oven to 165°C bake. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.

Place flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, cloves and nutmeg in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

In a separate bowl or jug, whisk together oil, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Add wet mixture to dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until well combined.

For the coating, combine white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Place icing sugar in a second small bowl.

Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out rounds of dough (approx. 2 level tablespoons per cookie). Place in the cinnamon sugar mix and gently roll to coat. Transfer to icing sugar and turn to coat generously.

Place on prepared trays, leaving plenty of room for the cookies to spread (do not flatten). Bake for 16-18 minutes, until cookies have flattened, cracked on top and feel firm around the edges.

Leave to cool on trays for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Additional tips

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies will keep well for up to one week.
