      3/4  cup           Sugar
      2/3  cup           Butter or margarine -- soften
      1/4  cup           Orange juice
      1/2  cup           Dark corn syrup
      1/2  cup           Dark molasses
    4 1/2  cups          All-purpose flour
      3/4  cup           Whole wheat flour
    2      teaspoons     Ground ginger
    1      teaspoon      Baking soda

      1/2  teaspoon      Ground cloves

 In a mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Blend in orange juice, corn syrup and
molasses.  Combine flours, giner, baking soda, salt, cloves, nutmeg and
allspice. Add to creamed mixture; mix well.  Chill 3-4 hours or overnight. Roll
a portion of the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut
into desired shapes. Place 2-inches apart on greased baking sheets. Repeat with
remaining dough.  Bake 350~ for 12-14 minutes. Cookies will be soft and chewy
