Here is an authentic Scottish recipe for gingerbreads(gingersnaps) I grew up with this typical cookie recipe in Scotland.
GINGERSNAPS 102 calories
1 1/2 cups soft whole wheat flour 1 cup soft unbleached flour 1 cup dark brown sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 3 teaspoons ground ginger 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 cup light molasses, warmed 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1/3 cup water
Preheat the oven to 350degrees F. Line some cookie trays with parchment paper or lightly oil them.
In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together; set aside.
Mix the molasses with the oil and water. (If the molasses are not warm enough to dissolve into the water, use the microwave to warm them a little.) Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. The dough should be quite stiff, and not particularly sticky - if itfs too soft and sticky, add a little more flour.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thick, and cut out with cookie cutters. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Re-roll and cut the scraps, until the dough is gone.
Bake for about 10-14 minutes, until lightly browned and set (the cookies will harden up as they cool).
