Ingredients; 
2 cups sugar 
1-1/2 cups canola oil 
2 large eggs, room temperature 
1/2 cup molasses 
4 cups all-purpose flour 
4 teaspoons baking soda 
3 teaspoons ground ginger 
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
1 teaspoon salt Additional sugar 
2 packages (10 to 12 ounces each) white baking chips 
1/4 cup shortening 
 
Directions; 
In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil. Beat in eggs. Stir in molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Shape into 3/4-in. balls and roll in sugar. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° until cookies spring back when touched lightly, 10-12 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. In a microwave, melt chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip cookies halfway into the melted chips or drizzle with mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Enjoy!
