Makes 24 cookies

What are ingredients do I need to make these Ginger Cookies?

  • Self rising flour or Kodiak Pancake Mix – I like to use Kodiak Pancake Mix since its lower points than the self rising flour. You could also use King Arthur Gluten-Free Baking Mix for a gluten-free option.
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Ground cloves
  • Ground ginger
  • Light Butter- I use Land O’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil
  • Zero point granulated sugar substitute -I use Lakanto Monkfruit Classic Sweetener
  • Zero point brown sugar substitute – I use Sukrin Gold or Lakanto Monkfruit Golden Sweetener
  • Egg or 2 egg whites
  • Molasses
  • Regular sugar or zero point white granulated sugar substitute-to roll dough in. I like to use regular sugar for the topping. The zero point sweetener can have a cooling effect when its not baked. If you are sensitive to that effect, I recommend using regular sugar for the topping.

How do I make these Soft Ginger Cookies?

In a medium mixing bowl combine, pancake mix or self rising flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves.

In a separate large bowl, beat together light butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar substitutes. Add egg and molasses and beat until smooth and creamy.

Using your hands, shape dough into 2-inch balls.

Roll in sugar substitute and place on a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. 

Repeat until 24 cookies are made.

Bake for 11-13 minutes or until light and puffy.

Let cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
