Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup molasses
- 1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener) until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious sugar-free classic ginger cookies!
