List of Ingredients




1/3 cup margarine or butter, softened

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Recipe



1. In a large mixing bowl, beat margarine or butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, the ginger, and the nutmeg. Beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in as much of the all-purpose flour and whole-wheat flour as you can. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

2. In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and the 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball with the tines of a fork in a crisscross fashion. Sprinkle cookies with the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Bake in a 350 F oven for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are firm. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to a wire rack; let cool. Makes about 36 cookies.
