Double Ginger Cookies
(Makes 2 dozen cookies)

I'm always on the lookout for recipes using crystallized ginger, and these look SO tasty!! The recipe says they also freeze well.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour (or use more all-purpose)
3/4 cup chopped crystallized ginger
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon rind
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
cooking spray

1. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife.
2. Combine flours and next 5 ingredients (flours through ground ginger); stir well with a whisk.
3. Make a well in center of mixture.
4. Combine 1 cup sugar, applesauce, and next 4 ingredients (applesauce through vanilla).
5. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist; cover and chill dough at least 1 hour.
6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
7. Lightly coat hands with flour.
8. Shape dough into 24 balls (about 2 tablespoons each; dough will be sticky).
9. Roll balls in 1/4 cup sugar.
10. Place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray.
11. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
12. Cool 1 minute on pan.
13. Remove from pan; cool completely on wire racks.
