Directions
In a bowl, cream together the sugar, butter, shortening, molasses, honey, spices and salt until well combined.
Beat in the flours, baking soda and egg replacer until thoroughly mixed.
Divide dough in half and form into flat rounds. Wrap well in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days (IMHO this is best after 1 day of “curing”).
Heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll half of the dough out about ¼” thick between sheets of wax paper and cut into shapes.
Gather scraps into a ball and re-chill at least 15 minutes before re-rolling.
Bake (one sheet at a time) for 8 to 10 minutes, until set in the middle with crisp edges.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Size: Makes about 38
