Light and Delicious Cookie for the Holidays- Part 2

Skinny Whole Wheat Snickerdoodles (adapted from Skinnytaste.com)

These are the other ones my mother baked for Christmad, the are pictured at the back of the plate. They were more 'bland' and would be good with a cup of coffee or tea. They are quite low in calories so you could enjoy a couple at a time.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

1 tbsp agave

1 tsp vanilla

1 large egg

3 tbsp sugar

1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. 

Line two baking sheets with Silpat mats and spray with cooking spray. Combine flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk.  Combine1 cup of sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended.   Add the agave, vanilla and egg; beatwell.  Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, beating just until combined.  Cover and chill for 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp sugar with cinnamon, stirring with a whisk to combine.  With moist hands, shape dough into 42 (1-inch) balls. Roll balls in sugar/cinnamon mixture.  Place balls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets (I slightly flattened them).   Bake 375°F for 5-7 minutes (cookies will be slightly soft).  Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes.  Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.  Enjoy!
