Preheat oven to 325° F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet and set aside.
Blend together butters, 1 c. SPLENDA® Granulated Sweetener and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer, or by hand. Blend until butter is softened. Add egg substitute (or egg), water and vinegar. Mix briefly.
In a separate bowl, mix together flours, salt and baking powder. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing by hand or by mixer on low speed, until dough is formed. Do not overmix.
Cover dough with plastic wrap. Refrigerate approx. 1 hour, allowing dough to chill. Mix remaining 1/8 c. Splenda with the cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and allspice, in a small bowl.
Remove dough from refrigerator and roll 1″ dough balls. Roll the dough balls in the spice mixture, then place 2″ apart on the prepared cookie sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to gently flatten the dough balls until they are about 1/4″ thick.
Bake in a preheated 325° F oven 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned on the back. Cool on a wire rack.
