Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

5.6 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/3 cup molasses
3 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 8 ingredients (through allspice), stirring with a whisk.
Place molasses, butter, and sugar in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed for 2 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat just until blended (dough will be crumbly). Divide dough into 4 equal portions.
Place each portion on a sheet of wax paper; cover with plastic wrap. Roll each portion to a 1/8-inch thickness. Freeze 10 minutes; remove plastic wrap. Cut with a 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Place cookies on baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350 ° for 6 minutes or until edges of cookies are browned. Cool 5 minutes on baking sheets. Remove from baking sheets; cool completely on wire racks. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
