Allison's Soft-Batch Ginger Snap Cookies
Ingredients
1 can 100% Pure Pumpkin
(not pie mix). I like Libby's brand Pure Pumpkin. Size can doesn't matter.
Note: The size of the can doesn't matter because you can store the
mixture in your fridge and make cookies when desired.
Ground Cinnamon (to taste)
Ground Ginger (to taste)
Sweetener (to taste)
Butter flavored zero-calorie cooking spray
Note:
Allison uses more ginger and cinnamon than she does sweetener. For sweetener,
she adds about 1/4 cup for a 29 oz can of Libby's.
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Once you've
reached the desired taste, put the mixture into a glass baking dish. Bake for an
hour. When you take the mixture out, it will still be soft. Put the mixture into
a storage container for the fridge. Let the mixture cool for an hour.
When you are ready to start making cookies: Dollop 1 oz for each cookie in a
frying pan (or I prefer to use my wok) that you've preheated on low heat and
sprayed with butter flavored cooking spray. Make sure you flatten out each
dollop (1/4 inch thick) in the pan, so it looks round like a cookie. Once the
cookie browns on one side, flip it to brown on the other side - make sure to
spray the pan again before flipping. What we're looking to accomplish here, in
regards to the consistency of the cookie is similar to a soft batch cookie. So,
if your cookie is still mushy, let it cook in the pan longer.
Once the cookie is done, let it cool for a few minutes before eating.
Leslie's Baked Acorn Squash
Ingredients
Acorn Squash
Walden Farms Pancake Syrup
Cinnamon
Directions
The easiest way to cook the acorn squash is to cut in in half, place it in a baking pan, cut side down. Add about an inch of water to the pan and either microwave it (approx. 10-15 minutes) on high or bake it at 350 until it's soft. Top it off with Walden Farms Pancake Syrup and Cinnamon. Tastes like a sweet potato.
Mitch's Crust-Less Apple Pie
Ingredients
2 Granny Smith Apples
Splenda
Apple Pie Spice
Directions
Slice 2 Granny smith apples into 1/4 inch slices. Spray the bottom of a glass casserole dish with pam. Spread the apple slices over the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with Splenda, then sprinkle with apple pie spice. Make another layer of the apples and repeat the sprinkling. Bake in 425 degree oven until the apples are tender and start to brown. Let it cool a bit, and it is fabulous!
