Yummy Time: Sugar & Spice

So while I have been on my Weight Watchers- Points Plus- Recipe kick... I also made Brown Sugar and Spice drop cookies.


Now...Although these are 2 points each and not significantly as tasty as the W.W. Glazed Pear Muffins[ which are 4 points and much more satisfying & the recipe can be found --> here]....I still recommend trying them out... Especially if you are relatively new to baking your own desserts from scratch..

Brown Sugar & Spice Drop Cookies:


Points Plus Value: 2 per serving
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time- 8-10 Minutes
Serves: 36
Level of Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients:
4 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1, 1/2 Cup All-purpose Flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 packed brown sugar
1/4 honey
1 Large Egg-White
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/3 cup fat-free Sour cream
36 halves- pecan halves(optional)

Instructions:
Preheat oven at 350* and spray two baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray.
Melt Butter in Saucepan over low heat- browning the butter will add a nice smokey flavor.. Poor butter into small bowl and let sit.

*I opted just to microwave my butter until melted:on low heat:*


Mix together flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl & set aside.

Mix together egg white, brown sugar, honey and vanilla in a large bowl until blended. Once blended, add browned butter and sour cream to mixture. Slowly add to your wet ingredients- your dry ingredients. Stir until blended.

Drop the dough in teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet. If you opt to use pecans, press a pecan into the center of each drop cookie. Bake 8-10 minutes, rotating the baking sheets after 4-5 minutes. Let cookies cool for 3-5 minutes and remove from cookie sheet.

Yields one cookie per serving.
