Ginger Crinkle Cookies

Ginger Crinkle Cookies

This quick ginger cookie recipe swaps whole-wheat pastry flour for all-purpose flour, and canola oil for shortening. Experiment with the baking time based on your preference—bake for a little less time for a chewy version or a little more to get them crispy.
