Christmas Cookies - Sugar Free!

Here is a recipe that everyone can enjoy!  I'm making these for a friend who is type 2 diabetic, but if you don't tell folks that these are made without sugar; they wouldn't know!

Farmer Boy Sugar Free Pumpkin Squares

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 Cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon of orange peel, grated
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 3/4 Cup of Sugar Twin
• 1/2 Cup of canned pumpkin
• 1/2 Cup of sugar free applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1 egg white
• 2 Tablespoons of cooking oil
• 1/2 Cup of raisins

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Lightly grease a 13 X 9 inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. 

In another bowl, combine the sugar substitute, apple sauce, pumkin, egg and oil.  Whisk the egg white, stir it into this mixture.  Add this mixture to the flour mixture, stir well. Stir in the raisins.

*Note: this batter will be thick.

Spread the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake 25 - 30 minutes, till probe come out clean.  Remove pan to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes, then cut into squares.

You could make this recipe using fresh, processed pumpkin, but that is way too much trouble!
