How to Make Spicy Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the vegan butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the molasses and maple syrup to the wet ingredients and mix well.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped crystallized ginger.
  7. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  8. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
  9. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cool, you can decorate as desired with vegan frosting or melted chocolate.
