How do you make ginger snap cookies?

These ginger snap cookies are so delicious. They may not be the healthiest, but who wants a healthy cookie anyway? These cookies will be perfect to whip up during the holiday season, and will leave your whole house smelling so delicious. Here’s how you make these amazing cookies:

Advertisements
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside
  2. To a large mixing bowl combine butter and sugars with a hand mixer of whisk till smooth
  3. Mix in the molasses and plant milk. Mix till well combined
  4. Begin to add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder.  Mix till combine (if you’re not using a hand mixer, I suggest using a wooden spoon to combine)
  5. Place your mixture into the fridge for 15 minutes, this helps with forming the balls but is not necessary if you’re short on time
  6. Combine the 3 tbsp. of white sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl
  7. Using a 1 1/2 tbsp. scoop, scoop out dough and roll into balls
  8. Roll your balls into the cinnamon sugar and roll around till well coated (this step is optional)
  9. Place 8 cookies on each sheet and place around 2-3 inches apart. Use the back of your fork to create a crisscross pattern on the top of the cookie
  10. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Remove from oven, let them cool for 2 minutes on the sheet then completely on a cooling rack

Notes

Vegan Egg = 1 tbsp. ground flax seed + 3 tbsp. warm water or a vegan egg prebought formula
When flattening the cookie, be sure to dip the fork in sugar between pressing to help them not stick.
The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.

I LOVE this recipe! I’ve made it a number of times now and every time it turns out amazing—and I’m NOT a baker. I’ve addd a bit more powdered ginger, a little nutmeg, a little more cinnamon. I’ve also substituted monk fruit sugar, and used chia seed eggs. It’s such a great recipe! It’s my favorite vegan cookie recipe.

These are my nephew’s favorite cookies!
A couple of notes on your recipe. The two ve4sions of your recipe directions on this page don’t match. One references plant based milk which isn’t on the ingredient list. Also neither set of directories include when to add the vanilla extract.
Great cookies though!

Amazing recipe! They came out a litter softer than expected, I’m sure due to my own lack of baking skills & having to cream the butter with my hands lol. But seriously delish! Super simple recipe too. Great to whip up as a quick treat for some tea with friends(:
