Categories     Desserts     Cookies

Time 29m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 13

cooking spray
¼ cup white sugar, or as needed
1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup canola oil
¼ cup dark molasses
1 egg
2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat 3 cookie sheets with cooking spray. Place white sugar in a small, shallow bowl.
  • Combine brown sugar, canola oil, molasses, and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until blended.
  • Stir together flour, baking soda, ground ginger, grated ginger, cloves, salt, and cayenne pepper in a second bowl. Add flour mixture to the molasses-egg mixture. Blend well; dough will be quite thick. Dough may be refrigerated or shaped at this time.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll lightly in white sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, 1 sheet at a time, for exactly 9 minutes. Cookies will still be soft, but will become crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside as they cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cookie recipe. When making lunchbox cookies, choose a recipe that is sturdy and will hold its shape well. Cookies made with oats, nuts, or dried fruit are all good options.
  • Make the cookies small. Smaller cookies are easier to pack in a lunchbox and less likely to crumble. They're also easier for little hands to hold and eat.
  • Bake the cookies until they are slightly underdone. This will help them stay soft and chewy even after they have been packed in a lunchbox.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before packing them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Pack the cookies in an airtight container. This will help keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out.
  • If you are packing the cookies for a long trip, consider freezing them first. This will help them stay fresh even longer.

Conclusion:

Lunchbox cookies are a delicious and easy way to make your child's lunch more special. By following these tips, you can make sure that your cookies are fresh, tasty, and ready to enjoy even after a long day at school. So next time you're packing your child's lunch, be sure to include a few homemade cookies!
