HEALTHIER MOLASSES COOKIES

•  3/4 cup stick margarine

In a large bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat margarine and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in molasses, egg and milk.

In a medium bowl, whisk flours, wheat germ, bran, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves, blending well. If using raisins and nuts, toss with about 1/3 cup of this dry mixture. Beat remaining dry ingredients into margarine mixture. Stir in raisins and nuts. Cover and chill 30 minutes to make dough easier to handle.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Form dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each in sugar, then place on nonstick or lightly greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand 1 minute. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Makes 5 dozen.
