I made some Ginger Soy Chocolate Sugar Cookies today. I started with All Recipes | Christmas | Chocolate Sugar Cookies. Here is the recipe as I made them:

• 1/2 stick butter
  
• 1/2 cu shortening
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 cu brown sugar
  
• ~1/4 cu hot chocolate mix
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1tsp baking soda
  
• 1 tsp cinnamon
  
• 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  
• grated ginger root (2 tbs?)
  
• 1 cu soy flour
  
• 1/8 cu whole-wheat flour
  

They turned out tasty. Note that this makes a fairly stiff dough, so flatten them out on the cookie sheet so the middle is sufficiently cooked.

They went into the oven for around 10 minutes on a parchment paper lined cooking sheet. Parchment paper is da bomb, making clean-up a cinch.
