Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups (425 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cups (150 mL) whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) ground ginger
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) each allspice, nutmeg and baking soda
  • 1/2 cups (125 mL) Becel Salt-free margarine
  • 1/2 cups (125 mL) each brown sugar and fancy molasses

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, using a fork, stir flours with spices and baking soda until well mixed.
  2. In large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat Becel with sugar and molasses until smooth. Gradually beat in flour mixture until well combined. Tightly form into 2 balls, then flatten each ball into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350F (180C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with 1 disc dough at a time, remove from fridge. For easy rolling, lightly flour both sides of disc dough, then roll ΒΌ-inch (0.5 cm) thick between 2 sheets plastic wrap. Dip cookie cutter into flour and cut shapes.
  4. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2-inches (5-cm) apart. Bake until firm to the touch, 10 minutes. Cool on a pan 1 minute before transferring to rack. Cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Store in an airtight container.
