Monster cookies

1 cup white flour
1 cup wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger (or powdered)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup molasses, light
1/2 cup raw sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Other additions for increased utles: chopped nuts (any kind), dried fruit, oats, dark chocolate, natural peanut butter, etc.

Preheat oven to 375
Lightly grease several baking sheets with vegetable oil spray.
In a medium bowl stir together flours, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves (and any other dry ingredients). set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together oil, molasses, sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients gradually and continue stirring mixture. Batter will be stiff.

cook immediately or freeze to save for later. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Either make balls of dough for cookies or sheet cookies depending on preference and time.
Note: depending on how much extra dry ingredients are added, more wet ingredients will be needed....can add more oil, molasses, eggs, etc. to achieve correct consistency.
