These are just what they say: big, soft, gingerbread cookies that stay soft. This healthier version of the original recipe uses butter instead of margarine, less sugar, and some white whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cups all-purpose flour: 1 piece
  • white whole wheat flour: 1 cup
  • ground ginger: 2 tsp
  • baking soda: 1 tsp
  • ground cinnamon: 0.75 tsp
  • ground cloves: 0.5 tsp
  • salt: 0.25 tsp
  • unsalted butter: 0.75 cup
  • white sugar: 0.75 cup
  • egg: 1 piece
  • water: 1 Tbsp
  • molasses: 0.25 cup
  • natural (raw) sugar: 3 Tbsp

  2. Beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat in egg, then stir in water and molasses. Gradually stir in flour mixture until just incorporated. Roll dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly.
