Recipe for Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
Gingerbread Cookies are a favorite around Christmas time. You can decorate the little guys and girls with gum drop buttons and frosting. If you have a craving for them outside the holiday season, use this recipe and forgo the frosting for a healthier treat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or an alternative like margarine or vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup Splenda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 large Eggland's Best egg
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- Candies and frostings for decorating if desired
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat shortening margarine in a mixing bowl on high speed for 30 seconds. Add Splenda, baking powder, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves. Beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally.
Mix in the molasses, egg, and vinegar until well combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining flour. Divide dough in half. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and chill for at least 3 hours.
Grease a cookie sheet with butter or margarine. On a lightly floured surface roll the dough to 1/8 inch thick for 2 and 1/2 round cookies and the dough to 1/4 inch for 6 inch gingerbread people cookies. Cut dough with your favorite cookie cutters.
Place cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheet. Bake round cookies for 5 to 6 minutes and gingerbread people cookies for 6 to 8 minutes. Edges of cookies should be lightly browned. Cool cookies for 1 minute on cookie sheet then transfer to wire rack and cool completely.
