Introduction

A healthy alternative to other not so wholesome cookies. I use white whole wheat flour that I get from local Amish bulk stores. King Arthur also makes a white whole wheat that you can find at larger stores. A healthy alternative to other not so wholesome cookies.

Ingredients


    Whole Wheat Flour, 3 cup
    Salt, .5 tsp
    Baking Soda, .75 tsp
    Ginger, ground, 1 tbsp
    Cinnamon, ground, .5 tbsp
    Cloves, ground, .5 tsp
    Nutmeg, ground, .5 tsp
    Butter, salted, .5 cup
    Granulated Sugar, .5 cup
    Egg, fresh, 1 large beaten
    Molasses, .66 cup

Directions

Combine flour, salt, soda, and spices in a mixing bowl.
In another bowl cream butter and sugar. Add molasses (when measuring molasses always spray your cups with nonstick spray so you don't spend eternity cleaning them!) and the beaten egg. When well mixed add to dry ingredients. Form into two balls. Cover with plastic wrap or put in a baggie and chill at least two hours. I normally just make up a batch after dinner for the next day.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 350

Working with one half at a time, roll out on a well floured surface to no more than a quarter inch thick. If you want crisper cookies you will want them to be no more than 1/8th of an inch. Place on parchment paper (wax will work in a pinch) about an inch apart.

Bake 8-10 minutes. Makes about 45 cookies. My cookie cutter kids measure about three and a half inches tall by 2 at the arms.
