Low-Fat
Prep: 25 min; Chill: 2 hr; Bake: 10 to 12 min per sheet; Cool: 30 min; About 2 1/2 dozen 2 1/2-inch cookies

If you cut out cookies smaller or larger than 2 1/2 inches, be sure to adjust the bake time by either checking a minute or two before the minimum time for smaller cookies or adding time for larger ones.


   _ cup packed brown sugar
   ___ cup shortening
   _ 1/2 cups dark molasses
   ___ cup cold water
   _ cups all-purpose flour
   _ teaspoons baking soda
   _ teaspoons ground ginger
   _ teaspoon ground allspice
   _ teaspoon ground cinnamon
   _ teaspoon ground cloves
   ___ teaspoon salt


1. Beat brown sugar, shortening, molasses and water in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

2. Heat oven to 350°. Grease cookie sheet lightly with shortening or spray with cooking spray.

3. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on floured surface. Cut with floured gingerbread cutter or other shaped cutter. Place about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate with colored frosting, colored sugar and candies if desired.

*If using self-rising flour, omit baking soda and salt.

Using Cookie Cutters

When using a cookie cutter that has one wide end and one narrow end, alternate the placement of it as you are cutting out the cookies. In other words, cut the first cookie with the wide end of the cutter toward you, then cut the next cookie with the narrow end toward you. This way, you can cut more cookies out of the dough.
