Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons margarine
-
12 tablespoons brown sugar
-
2 egg whites
-
1/3 cup molasses
-
1 teaspoon vinegar
-
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
-
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/8 teaspoon clove
-
additional granulated sugar, to roll in (optional, but recommended!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper (this keeps the cookies softer).
- Cream the margarine and brown sugar in a large bowl, then stir in the egg whites(beaten) and the molasses and vinegar.
- Sift together remaining ingredients and add to the wet mixture.
- Shape into 24 balls and roll them in the additional granulated sugar. Lightly press them on the cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies sit on the pan for about 2 minutes to firm slightly, then slide onto a cooling rack. ENJOY!
- Store these in an airtight container in layers lined with wax paper (prevents sogginess).
