Barbara's Sugar Free Molasses Cookies

2 cups flour substitute (my favorite is Rao's "cake flour")
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup AS (see note below)
1 egg, beaten
1 1/8 tsp baking powder
1 1/4 tsp ground ginger
3/4 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Cream butter and sugar and add molasses and egg. Set aside. Combine all dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Chill for about 1 hour. Shape into 1" balls and place 2" apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Do not overbake. Yield: 2 dozen 2 1/2-3 inch cookies at a little over 2 grams of carbohydrate each.

Note: Made with Splenda granular, these retain more of a ball shape and are a bit on the dry side, but still tasty. Made with maltitol, they spread out like sugar based cookies and are moist and chewy.
