Number of Servings: 48

Ingredients

    1/3 c butter or margarine, softened
    3/4 c packed brown sugar
    1/4 c dark molasses
    1 tsp ginger, ground
    1 tsp cinnamon, ground
    1 egg
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 1/2 c all purpose wheat flour
    1/2 c whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 c granulated sugar

    2 cups cream cheese frosting, homemade or store-bought
    1 t cinnamon

Directions

Beat the butter on medium-high speed in a large mixing bowl for 2 minutes. Beat in the brown sugar. Add the molasses, ginger, and cinnamon, mix thoroughly. Add the egg. Add the baking powder. Mix in as much of the flour & wheat flour as you can with the electric mixer. Stir in any remaining by hand. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray 3-4 cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Shape into 1/2 inch balls, roll in granulated sugar mixed with cinnamon. Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-12 minutes, until cookies are set and tops crack.
When cookies have cooled, stir the cinnamon into the cream cheese frosting and spread onto half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies.

    I used Splenda and Splenda brown sugar and just made cookies without the cream cheese frosting. They were very tasty. - 12/24/15

    I rolled these into balls about double the size of a small marble...got about 24 finished cookies...needed to bake them about 13 minutes and let them sit on the cookie sheet another couple of minutes after I removed them from the oven prior to removing them to a rack to cool. Great taste! Crispy! - 12/20/15

    I got about 36 cookies out of this recipe to make 18 sandwiches. Also, making the balls was super hard! Everything was crumbly. I wonder if I did something wrong. - 12/17/20
