Time 30m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

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

3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon clove
additional granulated sugar, to roll in (optional, but recommended!)

  • 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.

  • Store these in an airtight container in layers lined with wax paper (prevents sogginess).
