Ingredients:

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup candied ginger

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 cup molasses (not black strap)

1/2 cup raisins

1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup white whole wheat flour

Equipment:

baking paper

hand mixer

baking sheet

bowl

oven

food processor

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liner.In the bowl of an electric mixer add butter and sugar. Blend on medium speed until well combined and fluffy. Add in molasses and egg, beat to combine. In the bowl of a food processor add white whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, raisins, candied ginger, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Processes until the raisins and candied gingers are slightly minced. While the mixer is running on low speed slowly add in flour/raisin/ginger mixture to the butter/molasses mixture. Raise the speed to medium on the mixer and mix until combined. The dough will be sticky but roll the dough into 2 inch balls and roll into white sugar. Place onto the baking sheet and slightly flatten (just pushing down the top of the ball) to insure even sized (and round) cookies. I like to bake 6 cookies per baking sheet. This leaves enough room for spreading and no touching.Add cookies to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 9-11 minutes. You want the cookies to be a little soft when pulling them out of the oven so when they cool they are still soft.Let cookies cool on the baking sheet. Continue baking until all the dough has been used.

Food Joke

A Change In Plans Source: "Today's Woman" magazine, Barbara A Tyler. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. I'm telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms. Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes: Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do not have the desired welcoming effect. The dining table will not be covered with expensive linens, fancy China or crystal goblets. If possible, we will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork. Since this IS Thanksgiving, we will refrain from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the Santa napkins from last Christmas. Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey. We will be dining fashionably late. The children will entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy to share every choice comment I have made regarding Thanksgiving, pilgrims and the turkey hotline. Please remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital, I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the children should mention that I don't own a recording of tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds suspiciously like a frozen turkey in a clothes dryer, ignore them. They are lying. We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds, please gather around the table and sit where you like. In the spirit of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at a separate table. In a separate room. Next door. Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For safety reasons, the turkey will be carved in a private ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not, under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me. Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed. It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do, we will eat. Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious desserts, we will be serving the traditional pumpkin pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints. You will still have a choice: take it or leave it. Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Thanksgiving. She probably won't come next year either. I am thankful.
