FRESH GINGER MOLASSES
CHEWY COOKIES
A truly chewy and soft, moist spice cookie that will remind
you of Christmas and a fire in the hearth. The spices make for a
deliciously-flavored cookie that will sit nicely on a pretty platter among
other low-carb cookies for your holiday fiesta. It is not a mistake that there
is no leavening in this recipe. The
cookies will puff up slightly. My husband went as far as to say this is the best cookie I have ever made. They are very good, however, I have lots of good cookies, just very different to this recipe. Honestly, these are more of a special-occasion
(such as Thanksgiving or Christmas) cookie, so the indulgence with the molasses
spread over 34 cookies is not too out of line for moderate low-carbers.
These cookies are ones I am thinking of making this Christmas and New Years. I will take them with me as my daughter-in-laws are hosting those holiday celebrations this year.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened (250 mL)
Liquid
sweetener (sucralose or stevia) to
equal 21/2 cups
(625 mL)
sugar (seems like a lot in hindsight, so I would say try 2 cups
equivalent sugar first)
2 tbsp molasses (30
mL)
4 tsp finely
minced fresh ginger (20 mL)
1 large egg
3 cups Gluten-Free
Bake Mix 2 (750 mL)
2 tsp cinnamon (10
mL)
1 tsp nutmeg (5
mL)
1/2 tsp
ground cloves (2 mL)
1/8 tsp
salt (0.5 mL)
Instructions:
Bulk sweetener
for rolling cookies in
Preheat
the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cookie
sheet with parchment paper. I usually
grease the pan first to allow the paper to lay flat.
In bowl of mixer, combine butter, liquid sweetener,
molasses, ginger and egg; mix for 4 minutes on medium speed.
In large bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix well. Form approximately 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and
roll in sweetener. Place on prepared
cookie sheet. Flatten with the back of a spoon.
Bake 10 minutes or until light golden brown underneath.
Helpful Hints: Use Grandma’s® molasses as blackstrap molasses is better used in
something savory like baked beans.
