Fat-Free Molasses Cookies image

I modified this recipe from one on Raleys.com recipe center. The dough is quite simple to assemble - the only electric appliance used is a blender to puree the raisins. The cookies are a tasty nosh of "melt in your mouth" spicy treats. Have a cold glas of milk or a cup of hot tea and make it a party!

Time 27m

Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup raisins
1/3 cup hot coffee
1/2 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup egg substitute or 2 egg whites
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Puree raisins and hot coffee in blender until smooth.
  • Transfer raisin/coffee mixture to a large bowl.
  • Add egg substitute, molasses and sugar to raisin mixture and blend together.
  • Add cinnamon, ginger, cloves to bowl and stir.
  • Add flour, baking soda and salt to blended raisin mixture and stir together by hand until all ingredients are incorporated. Note, this is easier to do by hand using a table knife or a spatula than it would be to tax a small hand mixer.
  • Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 2 - 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons and roll into a ball. Roll the dough balls in the 1/4 cup sugar to coat and place on ungreased cookie sheet 2" apart.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until set, but still soft in the center.
  • Cool for 1 minute, then remove from cookie sheets and let cool completely on a baking rack.
