Enjoy the cookies from the Fun Walks at home.

• 6 T. margarine
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
• 2 egg whites
• 1/4 c. molasses
• 1 c. whole wheat flour
• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 1/2 tsp. cloves

In a large bowl or electric mixer, beat margarine, brown sugar, egg whites, and molasses (the mixture will look curdled). Sift or stir together all of the dry ingredients. Add to molasses mixture and mix until blended.  Cover and chill dough (this is important - dough will be too sticky to handle if not well chilled). Form into ball (about 1 1/2 teaspoons dough). Roll in sugar to coat. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not over bake, or they will lose their chewy texture. Store in an airtight container. This recipe originated at the Morris Cafeteria BYU Dining Services.
