1 c sugar
3 eggs
1/4 c molasses
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour
1 T baking powder
1 1/2 T ginger
3/4 T cinnamon
1/2 T cloves
1/4 t nutmeg
Preheat oven to 375. In one bowl mix wet ingredients. In another bowl mix dry ingredients and add to wet until well combined. Divide dough in half and spread into 2 12x3" on foil or parchment paper (should be about 1/2" high). Bake 25 min until firm. Cool and slice 1/2" thick. Place cut side down on baking sheet and bake 5-7 min until hard.
Notes:
- These cookies are VERY finicky when it comes to baking time. Even one minute can change the consistency. Don't fret if when you first take them out they are not hard....let cool and set a bit, then put back in if they need it. You don't want to end up burning them because you thought they weren't done yet.
- Cinnamon and ginger are two of those spices where you can use a lot and still have everything taste good. Really experiment with how much you use. Nutmeg/cloves have a very intense and distinctive flavor, so stick with small measurements or not at all.
- As always, DON'T overmix! Your batter will be the consistency of concrete and you'll emulsify everything. This will affect the texture of your resulting cookie and make them hard.
- This makes about 1 million cookies, so be aware of this fact. :)
