Vegan Gingerbread Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, allspice, and salt into a bowl.
• Cream coconut oil, molasses, and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer; add vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture; mix until a sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
• Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Dip cookie cutter in flour, cut out cookies, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 3 baking sheets.
• Mix shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, and soy milk together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Add molasses and blend until smooth.
• Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Pour into the bowl with the shortening mixture; mix dough by hand until thoroughly combined.
• Pour 1/3 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into balls and roll in sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart and flatten slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.

Steps:

• Combine the flaxseed with 2½ tbsp water, and leave to thicken for 5 mins. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Melt the margarine, sugar and syrup in a pan over a low heat, then transfer to a medium bowl and leave to cool slightly. Stir in the flaxseed mix, then the flour, bicarb, spices and a pinch of salt until it comes together into a smooth dough. Chill for 30-45 mins until firm.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 5mm thickness. Stamp out as many gingerbread people as you can, then re-roll the trimmings and continue until all the dough is used. Put on the sheets and bake for 12 mins until golden. Leave to cool on the sheets for 10 mins, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for two weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350°F Lightly grease baking sheets.
• Add oil, baking powder, sugars, molasses, soy milk, vanilla, and spices to a mixing bowl and combine with a whisk.
• Stir flour in 1/2 cup at a time with a large spoon. When the dough is too thick to mix any more flour in with the spoon, knead it in with your hands. NOTE: I use Silk soy milk. The wet/dry balance of the dough may vary depending on the type and even brand of milk substitute you are using. The dough should form a ball when squeezed together but not be sticky in your hands. As you add flour, knead each 1/2 cup addition in thoroughly and check for this. If it is getting too dry to hold together as a ball, either stop adding flour or add a bit more of your liquid. If it is sticky feeling, you need a little more flour.
• When your dough is done, take a handful of dough, shape it into a ball in your hands, and roll the dough out on a floured surface. If the dough is sticking to the rolling pin, dust the top of the ball of dough with flour before rolling. (If after a while the dough becomes too dry to form a ball after repeated rolling out and dusting with flour, knead 2-3 drops of water into it to get it to form a ball again. ).
• Cut into desired shapes. Lift shapes with spatula onto lightly greased baking sheets.
• Bake for eight minutes. Place baking sheets on a towel to cool (not a cooling rack). Use a spatula to loosen cookies from sheets immediately.
• Allow cookies to cool and decorate as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 2⅓ cups rice flour, the all-purpose flour, sugar, arrowroot, ginger, cinnamon, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg. Add the coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla to the flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until a thick dough forms. Gradually add the cold water and stir until the dough is slightly tacky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Dust a clean work surface with some rice flour, place the dough in the center, and roll the dough around until the surface is entirely coated in flour. Dust a rolling pin with more rice flour. Roll out the dough to ¼-inch thickness.
• Cut out cookies with your desired cookie cutters and transfer them from the floured surface to the parchment-lined baking sheets with a spatula, placing them about 1 inch apart. Bake for 7 minutes, rotate the baking sheets, and bake for 5 minutes more. Let stand on the baking sheets for 10 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
• In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, hot water, and vanilla and whisk briefly. If the glaze is too thick, add warm water one tablespoon at a time until the icing reaches a thick yet slightly runny consistency. If it becomes too runny, add more powdered sugar ¼ cup at a time. DO AHEAD: The glaze can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Steps:

• In a large bowl beat together oil and sugar for about 3 minutes. Add applesauce, stevia, molasses and soymilk. molasses and soymilk won't really blend with the oil but that's ok.
• In a sepearte bowl, sift together all the other ingredients.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet in batches. MIx together with a firm spoon or spatula until well combined. You should have a pretty stiff dough. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for an hour or up to 3 days in advance. (If you chill longer than an hour you may want to let it sit for 10 minutes to loosen up a bit before proceeding).
• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease your cookie sheets.
• On a floured surface roll you dough out to a little less than 1/4 inch thick. You can do this in 2 batches if you don't have the space. Cut out your shapes with your cookie cutters and gently place on cookie sheets (if you are using them to decorate with remember to cut a hole with a straw or something before baking). Bake for 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let them cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet then move to a cooling rack. Wait until they are completely cool before icing.
