Cream the butter, sugar (omitting the sugar for rolling) and splenda until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, combine all remaining wet ingredients.
Peel ginger root and pulse in a processor with the crystallized ginger and enough of the liquid ingredients to combine well.
Add all the wet ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar and mix well.
Sift together all the dry ingredients.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing on low just until blended.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Roll dough into 2 Tbsp size balls, roll in sugar and place on greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8 minutes, cookies will puff and crack - that's when they're done.
Cool on cooling rack, enjoy!
I used a 2 Tbsp measuring cup, leveled off the top with a knife and this recipe made 27 cookies.
