Substituting flours

[amanda_pennsylvania]

Hey all. So, my dad is back for Thanksgiving and I need to make some adjustments to my recipes. I'm going to bake gingersnaps and wondered if I can substitute whole wheat flour for white flour in a 1:1 proportion?

I don't recommend substituting 1-1 - you could end up with hockey pucks. Try substituting 1/3-1/2

of the white with the whole wheat.

You can also use white whole wheat flour to replace part of the white flour. Here's some info:

On the other hand, I see a lot of whole wheat gingersnap recipes via google with good results.

Here's one:

Thanks for the link. I do have a bag of KA whole wheat.

I did a search, too, and found one that's very similar to my recipe.

I'm going to compare and see...
