This recipe take less than 30 minutes start to finish.  Yay!  No chilling the dough in the fridge, no waiting for butter to come to room temperature, just cookies on demand.  Preheat oven to 375.  Mix together the sugars and oil until combined.  Add the egg and molasses and mix well.  Add the spices and baking soda and mix again. Add the flour and mix until thick enough to roll into balls.  Note- add a few teaspoons more flour if the mixture isn't thick enough.  Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place at least 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.  Bake for 8-10 minutes.  Do not overbake if you want them chewy!  Hint- if you like, roll the dough balls in sugar before baking.
