All Fresh Ginger Cookies
Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon ground ginger
– 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup molasses
– 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the molasses, flax egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
5. Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
6. Fold in the chopped crystallized ginger, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Place the granulated sugar in a small bowl. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and shape it into a ball. Roll the ball in the sugar until it’s coated all around.
8. Arrange the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each for spreading.
9. Gently press down on each dough ball with a fork to slightly flatten and create a crisscross pattern.
10. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
12. Store the All Fresh Ginger Cookies in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy with your favorite hot beverage or share with friends and family for a delightful treat.
Warm, spicy, and utterly delightful, these All Fresh Ginger Cookies are the perfect companions for cozy evenings at home or gatherings with loved ones. Embrace the joy of vegan baking and let these cookies bring smiles to all who taste them.
