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!

SERVES 22 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 dash salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup molasses
2 large egg whites or 1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

Directions

1
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2
Combine the flour through the brown sugar and mix well.
3
Using an electric mixer combine the butter, molasses, egg whites, and applesauce.
4
Add the dry ingredients and mix well.
5
Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
6
Drop the batter by 1 1/2 tablespoons onto the baking sheet.
7
These will spread so allow some room.
8
Bake for about 15 minutes per batch or until they are starting to brown on the bottom.
9
Let these cool on a rack.

Just made these and we really like them. I may add a little more ginger next time just because we really like ginger and would enjoy a stronger flavor. They do stick to the pan (I even used a silpat), but if you don't look at the bottoms it's not a problem I even tried the "ice cream sandwich" version you mentioned and it was yummy too. Thanks for a healthy cookie recipe!

This earns five-star rating for taste, but a three-star review for sticking 2 the pan. We hve the nice cookie sheets that are specially textured (wat r they called?!) and ur not supposed 2 grease those. (last time we did, the pans were all nasty, greasy and sticky until we scrubbed an washed em a million times) So they stuck to the pan like CRAZY!!!! Really good tho, we'll be making these again soon.....even my brothers luv em (unfortunately....I was hopin they wouldn't eat em....>sigh<). I used smart ballance 50-50 butter & margarine mix for the butter for even less fat!!

I was even kind of surprised at how good these are! I replaced the white flour with whole wheat pastry and used 1 whole egg intead of whites. BF loves these! He likes flat cookies, which these, admittedly, are. They're incredibly tender and chewy and have nice light gingery flavor, that is wonderfully accented by the applesauce. I can imagine how these would be really good for ice cream sandwiches... actually, Trader Joe's sells a fresh ginger gelato that I'm sure would be TDF with these. I can't really tell you how many this makes- they got eaten too quickly as they came off the rack. One thing, though- with a lot of cookie recipes you need to slightly undercook the cookies to ensure they are chewy. Don't do that with these. They will just be undercooked. Cook these until they're firm and they'll still be chewy. Thanks for a great healthy cookie recipe, ladypit! We love them!

These are really good. I've never had a soft ginger cookie before so this was a first. A good first I must say. I am going to use some of them to make sandwich cookies with Ginger Cheese by Sharon123 #53255. I think it'll be great. Thanks!
