Recipe for Vegan Gingerbread Cookies
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together:
1 cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp cornstarch
¾ cup vegetable oil
Stir until smooth, then add:
2 cups all purpose flour
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
With a spoon, mix everything together well – feel free to add one or two more tablespoons of water if it’s too dry – using your hands if needed to work the ingredients together, then begin rolling the dough into 1 ½ inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet. (Don’t worry too much about crowding, they don’t spread very much)
Before you place the cookie sheet in the oven, put a bit of ice water in a small bowl, then with your fingers or a small dropper, drop 2-3 drops of ice water on each cookie ball. This will cause the “crackle” look.
Place in 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes before moving to a rack or plate.
