Ingredients
1 1⁄3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1⁄2 tsb baking soda
2 1⁄2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1⁄2 tsp ground cloves
1⁄2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp kosher salt
1⁄2 cup packed Truvia® Sweet Complete® Brown Sweetener
1⁄2 cup Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All Purpose Sweetener
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 Tbsp molasses
1⁄2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1⁄3 cup cornstarch
Directions
- 1.
Preheat oven to 350° F with racks positioned in the upper and lower thirds. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 2.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
- 3.
In a large bowl, whisk together Truvia Sweet Complete Brown, Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated Stevia Leaf, eggs, and molasses until well combined. Still whisking, slowly pour in melted butter until well combined.
- 4.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined. Let stand until the batter firms up, about 10 minutes.
- 5.
In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners.
- 6.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into a ball. Roll the ball in the confectioners-sweetener mixture, coating well. Then, holding the ball in one hand, use the fingertips of the other hand to pat a thin layer of confectioners’-sweetener mixture on the top and sides of the ball. (This will help achieve a good crinkle when the cookies bake.) Repeat with remaining dough, arranging the balls on the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Slightly press down each ball.
- 7.
Bake, rotating halfway through, until cookies are puffed and golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Enjoy warm, or let cool completely on a wire rack.
- 8.
Store in a sealable container.
