Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Cloves
  • 3 tbl Vegan Margarine at room temperature
  • 1/3 c *PLUS* 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Applesauce unsweetened
  • 1/4 c Molasses
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Whisk together the flour, salt and spices. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the vegan margarine and sugar. Beat just until combined. Add the remaining ingredients, followed by the flour mixture.
  • If the mixture seems too moist, add just a bit more flour. Too dry? Add a bit more applesauce. Chill the dough for at least 15 minutes before rolling.
  • Preheat the oven 375 degrees.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough at least 1/4" thick. You need a fairly thick dough for the impressions to show. Place cutouts on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Decorate and return to chill until the oven is preheated.
  • Bake for 8-12 minutes (depending on the size of your cookies). Allow to cool for a bit before removing to a cooling rack. Cool completely before storing.
