How to Make Vegan Molasses Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup molasses, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (well-drained).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies generously with sparkling sugar.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
