Before:
After:
Using the Cooking Light recipe for double ginger cookies, which makes insanely large cookies -- the size of a flattened golf ball! -- I have made a giant stack of these babies.
Although the WW points value for THEIR size is 2/cookie, I:
(a) skipped the sugar coating -- they are already very sweet from the crystallized ginger and other sugar
(b) bet I could get it down to 1 pt/cookie -- if I skip rolling it in sugar AND scale it down to human-sized portions.
But I fear the cappuccino angel food cake from WW which I attempted to make (as a trial run for my sister's birthday on Sunday) will not turn out so well. I am letting it cool now and will see in the morning...but that egg white thing, challenging without a stand mixer. Oy.
I sense it will be back to a nice simple white cake recipe for me, for the actual birthday...except maybe with some chocolate whip cream. Ah, the wonders of unsweetened cocoa powder...
OK, time to go **THUD!**
The amount of baking you are doing is kind of scaring me. Even I, at my most stressed, do not bake this much!
