Spice Cookies That Are convenient For Most Diabetics
We diabetics enjoy sweets, too! So here is a tasty spice cookie formula that is suitable for most diabetics. You should be aware of what you can eat if you have been diabetic for a long period of time. These Spice Cookies do have some molasses in them so eat them accordingly. One or two after a meal should be fine. But do not sit down and eat a half dozen before going to bed. Use some base sense or rather some diabetic base sense. If you are a newly diagnosed diabetic who is still learning what your body will and will not tolerate, try one or two cookies and see how your next blood sugar reading has been affected. It is all trial and error for awhile.
Spice Cookies
6 tbsp vegetable shortening
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup Splenda granular
1/4 cup egg substitute
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3/4 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
In a large mixing bowl, mix together shortening, butter, sugar substitute, egg substitute and molasses. Put flour and spices into a flour sifter and sift into shortening mixture. Stir to form dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until firm, roughly 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. take off dough from refrigerator. For dough, roll 1 heaping teaspoon at a time, into balls. Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and pat down slowly with a fork, manufacture a criss-cross pattern as you would for peanut butter cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Do not overbake. These cookies will look chewy but will crisp up as they cool. Cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy!
