Ingredients

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together. Add molasses and water.
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, salt, nutmeg, baking soda, ginger, and allspice. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet and blend until the dough holds together.
Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
Roll out dough 1/4" thick on a lightly floured surface.
Cut into shapes with cookie cutters and transfer to cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheets or cooling racks.
Using the white decorating icing, decorate the cookies with "bones" so that they resemble skeletons.

Why this Gingerbread Skeletons works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Gingerbread Skeletons works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
