Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Butter
• 1 cup Sugar
• 3 Eggs large
• 1/4 cup Molasses
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 2-1/4 cups Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour
• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
• 1-1/2 Tbsp Ground Ginger
• 2 tsp ground Cinnamon
• 1-1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
• 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat until combined and fluffy. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla extract.
3. Whisk together the flours, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt in a separate bowl. Mix into your wet ingredients until fully incorporated.
4. Divide your dough into two equal parts. Shape each piece into a roll slightly shorter than the tray. Press down to 1/2 inch thickness. Bake for 25 minutes.
5. Let the cookies cool 15 minutes. Use a sharp knife to slice 1/2 inch pieces and place flat onto your tray.
6. Bake 10 minutes on each side at 325 degrees.
