Ingredients:
1/3 cup margarine or 1/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl beat margarine (or butter) with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds.
Add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Beat in as much of the all purpose flour and whole wheat flour as you can. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.
In a small bowl, combine the 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and the 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each ball with the tines of a fork in a crisscross pattern. Sprinkle cookies with the sugar cinnamon mixture. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until cookies are firm.
