Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup rye or whole wheat flour1 tbsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp allspice 1/4 tsp cloves1/4 tsp cardamom 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baker's ammonia1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup lard 1/2 cup fine sugar 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp coarse sanding sugar for topping
In a bowl whisk together flours, spices, baker's ammonia and salt.
In a large separate bowl, cream together butter, lard, and sugars. Add the vanilla extract.
Gradually blend the flour mixture into the butter mixture until it is well combined.
Cover and chill 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll out dough to 1/4"-thickness.
You can bake this as a large sheet of cookie to cut later, or, you can use cookie cutters to make cookie shapes (I suggest making rectangles from the dough at this point).
Sprinkle with granulated sugar.
For a solid sheet of dough, bake for 20-25 minutes, then cut shapes as desired. For shapes from raw dough, place dough shapes onto parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes.
Cool on the sheets on a rack.
Serving Size: makes about 36 cookies
