Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1½ Cup Sugar
1 Cup butter, softened
⅓ Cup Molasses (I use Grandma's brand)
1 Egg
2¼ Cup all-purpose, or unbleached Flour
1 Cup whole-wheat Flour
2 tsp. Baking Soda
2 tsp. Ginger, ground
2 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp. salt

Directions: |
Directions:In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add molasses and egg; blend well.
In a separate bowl, lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Add whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour for easier handling.
Heat oven to 350º. I use a mixture of flour & powdered sugar sprinkled on the surface to roll out the dough. Use about a quarter of the dough at a time, leaving the rest chilling. Roll out to desired thickness 1/4" or less. Cut into shape and bake AT LEAST 1" apart on uncreased cookie sheet.
I usually only bake 6 at a time as they do spread. Bake 6-9 minutes, or until set. Let cool 1 minute and remove from cookie sheet.
Decorate with melted candy wafters. Use a microwaveable squeeze tube to apply. |

Notes: These are yummy, chewy gingerbread! I have made the bears shown in the picture, but it's a lot of work. I usually cut out stars, or Christmas trees as they are the easiest to drizzle with the melted candy wafers. Use a simple cookie cutter as they do spread. I have friends who request these every year.
