Gingerbread men cookie cut-outs Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
6 tablespoons splenda |
1/4 cup light butter |
1/2 cup molasses |
1 egg white |
Directions:
1. Preparation
2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine the flour and next 7 ingredients (flour through cloves) in a bowl, and set aside. Combine granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer 5 minutes. Add molasses and egg white; beat well. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture; beat at low speed until well-blended. Divide dough in half, and shape each half into a ball, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 350°.
4. Working with 1 half of dough at a time (keep remaining half chilled until ready to use), roll the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a heavily floured surface; cut with a 2 1/2-inch boy or girl cookie cutter. Place gingerbread cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Arrange currants on cookies as buttons. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Remove from pans; cool on wire racks.
