Ingredients: 2/3 cup mild honey, at room temperature 1/3 cup unsulphured molasses 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup flavorless vegetable or sunflower oil 2 1/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour 1/3 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup chopped golden raisins 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts Directions:1. Whisk the honey, molasses, melted butter, and oil in a bowl until blended. Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate large bowl. Make a well in the dry ingredients and stir in the liquid until the dough is uniformly blended; it will be damp and somewhat sticky. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. 2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 3. Lightly butter 2 large cookie sheets. Using generous spoonfuls of dough, roll into 1 3/4-inch balls; use floured hands if the dough feels sticky. Place the balls about 3 inches apart on the sheets and bake for about 15 minutes. When done, the cookies will have spread and have small cracks over most of the surface. They`ll feel stop but not squishy to the touch. Cool on the sheets for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling. |
