Ingredients:  
3 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger

Directions:
Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose four, baking soda, all spices, and salt in a large bowl. Beat butter, oil, and sugar in another large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, molasses and vinegar; beat until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir to combine. The dough will be very soft. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat several baking sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Working with one portion of dough at a time, on a floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut cookies using cookie cutters. Gather the scraps and reroll. Using a spatula, place the cookies 1/2 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Repeat with the remaning dough. Bake cookies, one batch at a time, until puffed but soft, 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
