These luscious bar cookies smell heavenly as they bake--and taste even better.

Makes 6 servings

1 cup + 2 tablespoons whole- wheat flour
1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon finely minced orange zest
2 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 cup firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup reduced-calorie tub margarine
1/4 cup unsweetened cinnamon-flavored applesauce
1 cup low-fat (1.5%) buttermilk
3 egg whites

Preheat oven to 350o F. Spray an 8" square baking pan with nonstick cooking
spray.
In medium bowl, combine whole-wheat and all-purpose flours, zest, ginger,
cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pepper.
In large bowl, with electric mixer on high speed, beat sugar, margarine and
applesauce until smooth. Add buttermilk and egg whites; beat until combined.
Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour mixture until blended.
Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes, until
toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack
before cutting into 6 equal bars.
