Instructions
Vegan Gingerbread Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 425. In a small bowl, prepare the flax eggs by mixing the flax seed meal with the warm water and set aside until a gel forms (about 2 minutes)
- In a mixing bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, flax eggs, sugar, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Then, add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use your hands to roll about a tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball and place it onto the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the dough is used, this recipe makes about 20 cookies. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cookies are golden on the bottom.
- While the cookies are baking, use an electric mixer to blend the powdered sugar, almond milk, butter, and vanilla to make the frosting. Use a small pastry bad to drizzle the icing over the cookies. Enjoy!
