Today the weather got up to 70F! Summer is here! I broke out my favorite pair of shorts from last summer. I retired them around October, they were size 14’s but they were the jean shorts that have a small amount of stretch in them. When I retired them they were snug, but fit ok. Now I can slide them off without undoing them!! What a fantastic feeling!! YAY! I need to break out my tank tops from last summer and see how they look. Since I put them away from the winter Ive gone from a 38C to a 3?B Definatly shrinking up top! I wonder if they will be too big too? That would be awesome! I love clothes shopping now that Im in ‘regular’ sizes. Shopping in plus sizes sucked!
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1tbs prune puree (gerber prune babyfood works great)
3/4c molasses
1/3c apple juice
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/4c sugar (for coating)
Beat brown sugar, prune and molasses until smooth. Add juice and combine. Add dry ingredients and beat until mixed well. Cover and refrigerage. Over night is best, but a minimum of 3 hrs will do. Preheat over to 350 and prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll chilled dough into balls, roll in sugar and flatten on the cookie sheet. Bake about 10 minutes- a little underdone is best, and since there are no eggs its safe to eat these a little raw.
These are a nice spicey chewy gingerbread cookie- They are irrisistable with a simple fat free icing drizzled over top.Just put some icing sugar in a bowl and add a tiny bit of water and vanilla, stir and drizzle overtop. Yummy!! These are an awesome fat free comfort food.
