Soft Ginger Cut Outs
Low Fat Recipe

These are a soft cake-like, low fat gingerbread cookie frosted with white frosting. They are also known as Sally Ann Cookies.

Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1-1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
1 cup miniature marshmallows
2 egg whites

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups of the white sugar, molasses and coffee. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, ground nutmeg, ground cloves and ground ginger. Add the flour mixture to the molasses mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate dough for 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.

Roll chilled dough on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 3 or 4 inch sized cookie cutters. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Let cookies cool on wire racks.
