Makes 4 Dozen Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/3 cup Stevia In The Raw Bakers Bag
1/4 cup Sugar In The Raw
1 egg
1/4 cup Dark Corn Syrup
⅓-½ cup Sugar in the Raw (to taste)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in a medium bowl; set aside.

Beat butter, Stevia in the Raw®, and ¼ cup Sugar in the Raw® in a large bowl with mixer at medium high speed until well mixed. Beat in egg and corn syrup until smooth. Stir in flour mixture. Refrigerate dough 1 to 2 hours or until easy to handle. (See Tip below.)

Place ⅓ to ½ cup Sugar in the Raw® in a small dish. Shape dough into ¾-inch balls; roll in sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets.

Bake 7 to 10 minutes or just until edges begin to brown. (Do not overbake or cookies will be dry.) Cool 1 minute on baking sheet, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.

Tips: To speed chilling, place dough in freezer for 30 to 45 minutes instead of refrigerating.
