- ½ t pure vanilla extract
- 3-1/2 c all-purpose flour
- ½ c whole wheat flour

Instructions
- Beat butter until creamy. Gradually work in 2 c sugar. Continue creaming until light. Beat in eggs and molasses thoroughly.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. Gradually beat in flour mixture into creamed mixture. Beat hard. Mixture will be soft, so chill dough about an hour for easier handling.
