Just plain deliciousness

Another tasty creation, courtesy of Vitamix.
This past weekend I made this pumpkin dip, which was suggested to use as a dip for gingersnaps or fruit. I've been spreading the leftovers on bagels. Mmmmm.
And don't these gingersnaps look FABULOUS?? I'll never buy packaged ones again; these were amazing.Gingersnaps

1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup white sugar for decoration

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, oil, molasses, and egg. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger; stir into the molasses mixture. Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls. Roll each ball in white sugar before placing 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
3.Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in preheated oven, or until center is firm. Cool on wire racks.
