Tips from our Bakery Director, Kris Collett:
The timing for that first part of the mix is less important than the visual cues you’re looking for. When you mix the sugar, oil, molasses and eggs, you’re looking for a really good emulsion, so the mixture should lighten in color substantially and it should look like a silky ribbon when you lift up the beater and let the batter drop off of it. If you don’t mix it enough at this stage, the cookies will spread badly when they’re scooped as well as in the oven.
Even after adding the dry ingredients, this is a fairly loose and sticky cookie dough, and it will spread a bit after scooping it. So if you want to scoop and bake later, you will want to have some space between the cookies.
We give them a dunk in granulated sugar prior to baking them.
Finally, these actually taste a bit better after the dough gets a good snooze overnight in the fridge!
