Vegan Christmas gingerbread cookies recipe
Vegan, quick & easy
Every Christmas, I love to make homemade gingerbread men. I decided to spice things up a little and cut out/decorate different shapes. I chose all different types of festive things including gingerbread men, Christmas trees, snowflakes, reindeer...
These cookies are super easy to make and taste delicious. They are a crisp ginger cookie which are perfectly spiced, decorated with homemade vegan royal icing which drys out at room temperature.
This is a classic recipe for Christmas which everyone will enjoy.
Even pop a few on a plate along with a glass of dairy-free milk for Santa, I'm sure he'll want more than one!

Ingredients
-300g of plain flour
-1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
-2 teaspoons of ground ginger
-2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
-1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
-1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
-1/4 teaspoon of salt
-105g of vegan butter (I use Tomor)
-160g of brown sugar
-60ml of almond milk (I use unsweetened)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (You can use vanilla extract)
-60ml of almond milk (I use unsweetened)
-1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (You can use vanilla extract)
-80g of black strap molasses
...
Step 1- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
Step 2- In a separate bowl, add in the butter and brown sugar, whizz up until smooth.
I use my stand mixer with the paddle attachment, but you can use a handheld mixer or hand whisk.
Step 3- Once creamy, add in the almond milk, molasses & vanilla and whizz up until smooth.
Step 4- Pour the wet butter mixture into the flour mixture and bring together into a dough.
Knead for a few minutes.
Step 5- Wrap the dough in cling film and pop into the fridge for 1-2 hours until firm enough to roll out.
Once the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 180 degrees c and line baking trays with grease proof paper.
Step 6- Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the dough until 1/4 inch thick, and cut out the cookies using festive cookie cutters.
I chose snowflakes, gingerbread men, Christmas trees, reindeer etc.
Step 8- Once baked, transfer the cookies on to a cooling rack and allow to cool fully before icing.
Enjoy them as they are or get creative and decorate your cookies with vegan royal icing.

Serve fresh or store in a sealed container, the royal icing will firm up at room temperature.
Best eaten within a few days!
