I made these over the holidays and loved them! They're the perfect texture, and no one in my family could believe how little fat they contain! If you like ginger cookies or other spicy cookies, you'll probably find these a good, lower-fat substitute. One caveat, though: they are best eaten within a day of baking; because of their very low fat content, they don't age well. They certainly didn't last longer in my house! Each cookie contains 56 calories and less than 1 gram of fat! Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/4 cup molasses |
1/4 cup egg substitute |
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
extra sugar (for rolling) (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, mix brown sugar, applesauce, molasses, and the egg substitute.
2. Stir well to combine.
3. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
4. Mix well.
5. Add spice/flour mixture to wet mixture.
6. On a baking sheet lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray, drop batter by teaspoonfuls.
7. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie; they do spread a little.
8. If desired, sprinkle with extra sugar.
9. Bake at 375° for about 8-10 minutes.
10. Remove cookies from oven.
11. Place them onto wire racks and allow them to cool.
12. Enjoy!
