cooking

In a small bowl, fork sift:
2 cups fine whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cardamom
1 cup turbinado sugar

In a large bowl, blend together:
12 tsp. salted butter (not warmed)
1 egg
1/4 cup of unsulphered  molasses

Slowly blend the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Form a cylinder with the dough and wrap it in parchment paper. Refrigerate at least one hour. Slice into 1/4" thick rounds (makes about 40 3" cookies). Decorate with sanding sugar. Bake for 7-10 minutes at 350.

These may actually be the most delicious cookies I have ever made...
