Soft Ginger Cookies | Vegan Recipe

If you have been on the hunt for a soft, warm ginger cookie recipe that is easy, delicious and 100% plant based, this is the cookie for you.

I use both fresh and dried ginger to capture the zingy-warmth of the ginger from all angles and just love adding an extra sprinkle of sugar over the top for that sparkly holiday feel.

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silat mat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, sift together white whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Gently toss together and set aside.
• In a large bowl combine coconut oil, turbinado sugar, chia/flax egg, almond milk, fresh ground ginger and molasses. Using a hand mixer, blend until well combined.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and continue to blend until you have a thick hearty dough.
• Scoop one tablespoon of the dough into your hands and roll into a small ball. Place on baking sheet and flatten out a bit, continue until you have 12 cookies on the baking sheet.
• Optional (but beautiful + delicious) top each cookie with an extra sprinkle of turbinado sugar.
