Grilled Sesame Chicken and Ginger Cookies

from www.withallthingsfabulous.blogspot.com

4-6 Boneless skinless chicken breasts or your choice of fish

1/2 cup honey, heated

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame seed oil

1 finger ginger, pealed and sliced

1 garlic clove, minced

3-4 healthy shakes from your sesame seed shaker
Put your chicken breasts in a large bag and add all of the ingredients.  I love to marinate in a bag, it's clean and easy.  I actually put the breasts in frozen, added all the ingredients and then let the chicken defrost in the marinade.  Let marinate 8 hours or over night.  If you're doing fish only marinate 30-60 minutes.

When you're ready to cook don't dump your marinade down the sink!  Pour it into a sauce pan and bring to a simmer while you cook the chicken.  You don't need to add anything, just cook it and it's fantastic as a sauce. (simmer for 6 minutes-don't skip this step).

Grill chicken on BBQ 4 minutes each side. 

Whole Wheat Ginger Snaps

1 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup molasses

4 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon ground ginger

1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves

1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice

1 cup white sugar for decoration

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar until smooth. Mix in the eggs, and then the molasses. Combine the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, heaping the measures if you like a lot of spice. Stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture just until blended.
3. Roll the dough into small balls, and dip the top of each ball into the remaining white sugar. Place the cookies about 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the tops are cracked. Bake longer for crispy cookies, less time for chewy cookies. Cool on wire racks.
