Whole-Wheat Ginger Snaps
Report
Adapted from Joy of Cooking, I've turned the traditional holiday cooking into a healthier version using whole-wheat flour. These Ginger Snap cookies are soft and chewy with a little crisp around the edge. They're so simple to make and bake in the oven for only 10 minutes, so you'll be enjoying the sweet, little-spicy, and very festive flavors in no time!

Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch cloves
Wet Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons molasses you will not get the dark brown color without this
- 1/8 teaspoon orange zest (optional, but good!)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, with an electric whisk/beater combine the wet ingredients.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing until well combined. Stop and scrape the sides of the mixing bowl if necessary.
- Drop the cookie dough by the spoonful (I used a small scoop to make this job easy) onto a large ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or with your fingers.
- Bake until done all the way through, 10 - 13 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
