Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 6 tablespoons margarine
  • 1 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  1. Mix together shortening, margarine, Splenda Granulated Sweetener, egg and molasses in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Sift dry ingredients together and add to shortening mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Chill dough in refrigerator until firm (approximately 2 hours).
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  5. Form dough into 30 balls, approximately 1 level tablespoons each. Place cookies on ungreased cookie sheet and pat down gently with fork making a criss-cross pattern.
