gingerbread cookies

I got the recipe from the Wholesome Sweeteners' website. I will be making this tonight.

Gingerbread Cookies

Ingredients:
½ cup butter
¾ cup Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic SUCANAT
½ cup Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic Blackstrap Molasses
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon nutmeg
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ cup water

Method:
In a large bowl, cream butter with SUCANAT, molasses and spices. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda, then add to butter mixture and stir well. Mix in water until dough is stiff. Chill for several hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roll out dough on a lightly floured board to a thickness of ¼ to 1/3 inch. Cut into any shape desired. Bake on a greased cookie sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size.

Make 24 large cookies, 48 small ones.

UPDATE: I made a batch and loved how it tasted chilled. When I baked this batch, it had the texture being bready or cakey. I realized I preferred chewy gingerbread type of desserts.
