That Cookie Recipe Everyone's Been Asking for...

Okay, this is NOT my recipe. It's from Vegan With a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I just lightened it up a bit and used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose.

Sparkled Ginger Cookies (the semi-healthy version)

4 tbsp. tubinado sugar (regular sugar will work but coarse is better)
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 c. applesauce
1/4 c. molasses
1/4 c. soy milk
1 c. sugar (I use turbinado sugar)
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease two cookie sheets. Place the turbinado sugar in a small bowl.
Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix together the applesauce, molasses, soy milk, sugar and vanilla. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and combine well. If it's too wet to roll into balls, add a bit more flour. Roll into 1-inch balls, flatten into a disk, press the cookie tops into the turbinado sugar and place 1 inch apart sugar side up on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, let cool on cookie sheets for 3-5 minutes, transfer to cooling rack.
