Serves: 20

INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt substitute
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar
1/4 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup Smucker's sugar-free syrup
2 tbsp Dannon Light n' Fit Vanilla yogurt
2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce

DIRECTIONS
1. Combine flours, allspice, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt well in a medium bowl.
2. In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat molasses, syrup, Splenda brown, applesauce, and yogurt until well blended.
3. Pour the dry ingredients into the larger bowl and mix until a stiff dough forms.
4. Press the dough into a disc, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray 2 cookie sheets with non-stick spray.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter, cut out cookies. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and keep making gingerbread men until all dough is used up.
7. Use a spatula to transfer cookies to cookie sheets, placing them 1-inch apart.
8. Bake for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown, rotating sheets halfway through to ensure even baking. Remove to wire racks and let cool completely.

Makes 20 gingerbread men.

    :laugh: Umm... No, 'fraid not. You could do what my gramma does-mix confectioners/powdered sugar with water. Definitely lower in fat, but that sugar content... Man! It'll rot your teeth right out of your head! Let me know if you come up with anything though! :flowerforyou:
