Ginger Crinkle Cookies

From EatingWell: November/December 2007

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.”

READER'S COMMENT:

yum!

This recipe is easy and quite good. I might not roll them in sugar next time to see if it is a little less sweet, or maybe cut back just a little on the sugar in the recipe. They took exactly 10 minutes in the oven. I am going to let them sit overnight and see if the sweetness recedes a bit and the spices come more alive. I also added a healthy grating of nutmeg to the batter. Will make them again.

Pros: Fast and easy to make. No butter.

I used half four half, rolled oats and I used a bit less sugar. Tastes really good! I might put a little bit less oil in though :)

Delicious, awesome cookies

We only used 3/4 c sugar: 1/4c white sugar, 1/4 c brown sugar, 1/4 c maple syrup. We skipped the sugar coating and they're still yummy and sweet

Pros: soft and crunchy at the same time, these were easy for a 9 year old to make.

Great cookies, but only sometimes

The first time I made these cookies, it was amazing. But the last few times have been inconsistent and the cookies came out chewy and not that flavorful instead of crunchy. I'm not sure whether its the recipe or my baking.

Pros: doesn't contain butter

Great!

The cookie that came out of the oven was SOOO... much more than I expected when putting the little soft, oily balls in the oven. Besides a fantastic taste, they look like fancy coffee shop cookies!

Pros: A delicious and healthful cookie
