Combine oil, egg, brown sugar and molasses in a mixing bowl.

In separate bowl, whisk together rest of ingredients, then stir into wet ingredients.

Drop by rounded tablesoon onto ungreased cookie sheets--12 per sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.

Let cool on sheet for 2-3 minutes, then carefully move to wire rack. Cookies will be fragile until cooled.

Store in airtight container for up to a week, although they usually are gone long before then. Makes 48 cookies, unless you're like us and eat the dough too.
