Directions:

  1. In a medium bowl; whisk flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg white, 1 cup sugar, fruit puree, oil and molasses.
  3. Add dry ingredients and stir gently until combined.
  4. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm at least 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Preheat over to 375°F.
  6. Coat 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray or line them with parchment paper.
  7. Place remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a shallow dish.
  8. Scoop out dough by the scant tablespoonful and, with lightly oiled hands, roll into 1-inch balls.

  10. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, for 10-15 minutes or until golden on the bottom.
  11. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  12. (The cookies will keep for up to 4 days in a tightly covered tin. Freeze for longer storage.)
