Nothing beats a home baked cookie!

Nothing beats a home bake cookie. That is what I always believe. And with Christmas just round the corner, I am sure there are a lot of baked goods to eat! But none can ever compare to the ones made fresh and made at home! Some how, they just taste better. For what reasons, I can never explain! I love ginger bread or ginger cookies. They are one of my favorites since I was little. It is a pity I do not have an oven now. Otherwise, I would whip up a batch of them to share with close family and friends! Maybe you can make them and share them with your family and friends. All you need are: 1 cup all-purpose white flour 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 1/4 tsp ground allspice 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1/4 tsp ground ginger 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg 1/8 tsp salt substitute 1/4 cup Splenda brown 1/4 cup dark molasses 1/4 cup Smucker's sugar-free syrup 2 tbsp Dannon Light n' Fit Vanilla yogurt 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce 1. Combine flours, allspice, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt well in a medium bowl. 2. In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat molasses, syrup, Splenda brown, applesauce, and yogurt until well blended. 3. Pour the dry ingredients into the larger bowl and mix until a stiff dough forms. 4. Press the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes. 5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick spray. 6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and keep making gingerbread men until all dough is used up. 7. Use a spatula to transfer cookies to cookie sheets, placing them 1-inch apart. 8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating sheets halfway through to ensure even baking. Remove to wire racks and let cool completely. And if you have the time, preparing some icing to decorate them would be so much fun too! A project I am sure your family, especially the kids, will enjoy!
