There may not be a spice as festive as ginger, and what better than incorporating it into a cookie
- 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

3. Place egg, molasses, sugar, and margarine into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure lid.

5. Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
6. Blend for 15 seconds.
