How to Make Soft Molasses Cookies Reduced Fat
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1 cup of molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.
- Pour the wet ingredients (buttermilk mixture) into the molasses mixture and stir to combine.
- Lightly spoon 3 cups of all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups and level with a knife.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the molasses mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray or flour.
- Roll the dough into 30 balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter).
- Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons of water, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add more water, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Transfer the glaze to a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
- Seal the bag and snip a tiny hole in one corner.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
