The holiday season is upon us and that means delicious and sometimes not so healthy treats. Laurel Hudson, culinary instructor at Wellspring Academies, gave Marvelous Girl a tasty cookie recipe that your family will love:
Gingerbread Cookies
Yield: 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
½ cup Fiber One original bran cereal
1 package whole wheat gingerbread cake or cookie mix
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp ginger
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
¼ tsp baking powder¼ cup granulated Splenda
Pinch of salt
½ cup canned pure pumpkin
¼ cup warm water
3 tbsp molasses
1 tsp vanilla
6 packets of Truvia no calorie sweetener
Pam spray
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with Pam.
- In a food processor, grind the cereal until it looks like flour, then pour into a bowl.
- Add the gingerbread mix, all the spices, the baking powder, Splenda, and salt and mix well.
- In a small bowl, combine the pumpkin with the warm water, molasses, and vanilla and mix well.
- Add the pumpkin mixture to the other bowl and stir until blended.
- Knead the dough to combine.
- Roll the dough into 1/2” balls, making 36 cookies dough balls total, and place them on the cookie sheet.
- Flatten balls or scoops with the back of a spoon dipped in the Truvia, so the dough doesn’t stick to the spoon.
- Bake in the oven for 10-20 minutes, or until the edges are firm.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
- Remove from the pan and enjoy!
