BLACKSTRAP MOLASSES COOKIES (EGGLESS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add molasses, maple syrup, and water; beat thoroughly. Mix in ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
• Sift 2 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a bowl; mix into wet ingredients until combined. Let dough sit for about 10 minutes; it should be thick enough to roll into a ball. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon dough and roll it into a ball. Place on a baking sheet and flatten slightly. Repeat to form remaining cookies.
• Bake in batches in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to paper towels to cool completely.

WHOLE WHEAT GINGER SNAPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs, and then the molasses. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, heaping the measures if you like a lot of spice. Stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture just until blended.
• Roll the dough into small balls, and dip the top of each ball into the remaining white sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are cracked. Bake longer for crispy cookies, less time for chewy cookies. Cool on wire racks.
