Ingredients

  • 140 g vegan butter
  • 180 g granulated sugar
  • 1 flax egg
  • 1/4 cup 65g fancy molasses
  • 1 teaspoon each grated fresh ginger & ground ginger
  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • dash of salt more if your vegan butter is unsalted

Instructions

  • Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of flax mea with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Rest for 15 minutes in the fridge.
  • Cream the soft vegan butter and the sugar until well mixed (you can use a hand mixer or I used a folk and a wooden spoon later.
  • Add the molasses, freshly grated ginger and flax egg and mix until well combined.
  • In another bowl, mix all dry ingredients and then add the flour mix in batches to the wet ingredients until all the flour is incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl with foil and let the dough rest for one hour in the fridge.
  • After the dough was chilled, preheat the oven to 350 F
  • The recipe yields for either 12 giant or 16 regular size cookies.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and shape into 12 or 16 balls with your hands, rolling each ball in the granulated sugar before placing it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Leaving enough space between the cookies. You will likely need to bake 2 sheets of cookies.
  • Bake each sheet of cookies for about 10 minutes (regular size) or about 12 minutes (giant size) until brown. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
