Ginger Crinkle Cookies

Cynthia Farr-Weinfeld, a hypnotherapist and writer, started improving the nutritional profile of a friend's mother's ginger cookie recipe by substituting whole-wheat pastry flour for all-purpose flour and canola oil for shortening. “Experiment with these cookies,” she advises, “as they taste great either slightly underdone or crispy.” She calls them “the quickest cookies you'll ever bake.”

These cookies were spectacular! Easy to make (and I've made them with regular white sugar, too) and delicious. They got raves from my guests, too. Cook from New Jersey, West Milford, NJ	8 weeks 5 days ago

This is by far the best cookie around. Has replaced my ginger cookie. Fast, easy and delicious - can't get better than that. Mowgli, VT	11 weeks 5 days ago

These cookies are amazing and I have made them many times, once using barley malt in place of molasses. It gives it a toastier flavour that is quite lovely on the palate. Also, I use regular sugar and it works just fine. Kira, Berkeley, CA	11 weeks 5 days ago
Easy to make. Used regular white whole wheat flour. I added fresh ground ginger into the "wet" ingredients... in addition to the powdered ginger. Very "snappy" and delicious. Jean, Albany, NY	11 weeks 5 days ago
These are some of the easiest, but more importantly, the best cookies I have ever made. Everyone that has tried them has asked for the recipe! Juanita, Austin, TX	11 weeks 5 days ago
These cookies are delicious. The dough was a little sticky for rolling into balls, but a few minutes in the fridge helped. Yum! Tina, West Chester, PA	11 weeks 5 days ago
