Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Dark brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Molasses
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg white
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, dark brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg white to the wet mixture and whisk until fully integrated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Roll each dough ball in the granulated sugar to coat evenly.

Step 7

Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your low-fat ginger molasses cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
