Here is the recipe that my SO and I have used for the past 3+ years.
We have made it at least 10-15 times with good, consistent results.
It makes a fairly dense, chewy style of cookie – just what we like.

Gingerbread cookies

1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dark molasses (blackstrap gives a tart taste is FULL of
IRON – if you use it, dont use more than
1/3 cup of blackstrap)
1/2 cup cold water
3 cups white flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 t allspice
2 t ginger
2 t cloves
2 t cinnamon
2 t vanilla
2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1 T cold water

Mix the applesauce, brown sugar and molasses together thoroughly. Stir in 1/2
cup cold water and vanilla.

Mix together dry ingredients. Add to the dough. Add 1 T cold water. Mix
well.

Cover bowl and chill dough (for at least one hour.)

Preheat oven to 350. Roll out dough thick (1/2 inch). Cuts with small glass
(1-2 inch diameter). Place on lightly oiled (sprayed) cookie sheet.

Bake about 10 minutes (until no imprint remains when touched lightly with
finger).

Notes:
This recipe is from Sonja and William Conner’s The New American Diet (pp.
365).

Mix shortening, butter or margarine, sugars, eggs and vanilla
thoroughly. Stir in all purpose or unbleached flour, baking soda and
salt. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Shape dough into ball
with lightly floured hands, pressing to make dough compact. Cut dough in
half. Shape each half into a roll 2 inches in diameter and about 8
inches long by gently rolling dough back and forth on floured board.
Roll dough onto plastic wrap: wrap and twist ends tightly. Dough can be
refrigerated up to 1 month or frozen up to 3 months. Preheat oven to
375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut roll into 1/4-inch slices. (It is
not necessary to thaw frozen dough before slicing.) Place slices about
2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes.
Immediately remove cookies from baking sheet onto wire rack.

Variations:
CHOCOLATE CHIP: Add 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips and 1 cup
chopped nuts with the flour.

This dough can be frozen for up to 3 months.

7 cup water
4 cup (about 1 lb) chopped kale or spinach or chard

1 large. onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped (I used celery salt here)
3 tomatoes, chopped

1-2 T soy miso (soy and/or Worcestershire sauce is good, too)
