Recipe by The Diabetic Cookbook
Heat oven to 350 F. Mix flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda,
bran and spices together, then rub in margarine until the mixture resembles
fine breadcrumbs. Stir the sweetener into the egg and orange juice and beat
into the flour mixture. Knead well, and roll out thinly on floured board.
Using a cutter, cut into gingerbread men shapes (or other shapes) and place
on greased cookie sheets. Bake for 15-20 min or until crisp and lightly
browned. Cool on a wire tray and store in an airtight container. Per
