GIANT LOW FAT GINGER COOKIES



Giant Low Fat Ginger Cookies image

These are wonderful soft and chewy ginger cookies. They make a lovely afternoon treat or could be put in a lunch box. They are originally from "Hey, Mom! I'm Hungry!" by Susan Powter and were supposed to be cookies to use to make ice cream sandwiches. Honestly, though, they never last long enough in our house to put ice cream between them! They are gobbled up as soon as they are cool enough to hold!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 25-30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar or 1 1/2 cups sugar substitute, such as splenda
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 1/3 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon skim milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • In a small bowl combine milk and 1 tsp cinnamon, set aside.
  • Cream butter with the sugar, the egg whites and the lemon juice until fluffy.
  • Combine flour, powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
  • Add the flour mixture in the creamed mixture, stir in walnuts.
  • Roll dough onto a floured surface.
  • Cut with cookie cutter. It's optional. If I'm in a hurry, I just shape a little balls, then I place them onto baking sheets and then flat them with a fork.
  • Brush with the milk and cinnamon.
  • Bake about 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the cookies stay crispy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them crisp up.
  • Watch the cookies carefully while baking. They can burn easily.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and become even crispier.

Conclusion:

Low-fat crispy cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and effort, you can make delicious low-fat crispy cookies that everyone will love.
