Notes:

In order to calculate the smart points on a recipe you have to enter the ingredients in manually (by creating a recipe in the recipe builder) not by the nutritional information. Since this recipe contains zero point items the app doesn’t realize there are zero point items in the recipe and will calculate it based only off the nutritional information which is not accurate.

WHAT THE INGREDIENTS THAT I NEED TO MAKING THESE GINGER COOKIES LOW IN POINTS?

To make these ginger cookies low in points is using a zero smart point brown sugar substitute along with Land o’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil.

I always use Land o’ Lake light butter for all of my baking recipes.

Combine flour, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a medium mixing bowl.

Whisk light butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar substitutes in a separate large bowl, add eggs and molasses and beat until smooth and creamy.

Using your hands, shape dough into 2-inch balls.

Roll in sugar substitute and place on a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.

Repeat until 24 cookies are made.

Bake for 11-13 minutes or until light and puffy.

Let cookies cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
