Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the applesauce, molasses, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and roll each into a ball. Roll the balls in granulated sugar.
- Place the sugar-coated balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly cracking.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Chef’s Tips
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it’s too soft to handle.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
