How to Make Diabetic Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) margarine and 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 30 seconds.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large egg whites (or equivalent egg substitute) and 1/2 cup (118ml) molasses. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Gradually add 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour and 1 cup (120g) whole wheat flour, mixing until just combined. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (50g) granulated Splenda and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Shape the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the Splenda-cinnamon mixture to coat evenly.
  9. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are cracked.
  11. Remove cookies from baking sheets and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
  12. Enjoy your delicious and healthy molasses ginger cookies!
