These chewy cookies are so delicious they are guaranteed to get you on Santa's good side
0:05
They are packed with flavor from molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. And even though they are
0:10
egg-free and dairy-free, they are still the softest, chewiest ginger cookies ever. Hello and welcome
0:17
back to my vegan holiday recipe series. In this video we are making some ginger cookies that are
0:23
seriously addictive and super easy to make. So let's get started. all right so first things first we're going to preheat the oven to 350 degrees and then we are
0:37
going to line a few baking sheets with parchment paper this recipe is going to make about 15 large
0:43
cookies so plan accordingly depending on the size of your baking sheets now I'm going to use a stand
0:53
mixer for this recipe but you could certainly mix it by hand if you want it's just going to take a
0:58
a little bit more muscle. So we're gonna start with a bowl of our stand mixer
1:02
and add in 10 tablespoons of vegan butter spread, one cup of sugar six tablespoons of unsulfured molasses and half a tablespoon of vanilla extract And we just gonna mix that up with the paddle attachments starting on low
1:18
speed and increasing to medium-high. If you only have vegan butter sticks
1:23
instead of a vegan butter spread you can still use that it'll work just fine. The
1:27
cookies just won't be quite as soft. When it comes to the molasses I don't
1:32
recommend using blackstrap molasses because it could be pretty bitter but but any other kind of molasses that you wanna use
1:39
should be fine. Anyway, when your mixture starts looking like this, after about two or three minutes
1:44
you are ready for the dry ingredients. So we're just gonna sift together
1:51
two and a thirds cups of all purpose flour, one tablespoon of ground ginger
1:57
half a tablespoon of cinnamon, half a tablespoon of baking soda, half a teaspoon of nutmeg
2:03
and half a teaspoon of salt. Whisk that up and then add about half of it
2:09
to your stand mixer and mix it in. Once that half has been incorporated
2:14
then you can just add the rest and you should have a soft batter that looks like this
2:23
All right so next we just gonna scoop out the cookies and put them on the baking sheet you also want to prepare a little bowl or a small rimmed plate of sugar to roll your cookies in I know a
2:35
lot of people like to use an ice cream scoop to try to keep their cookies the same size but I
2:41
actually prefer to weigh my dough just so that I know it's exactly the same size but do whatever
2:47
you prefer. If you're gonna weigh them, 50 grams is a good size for some nice large cookies. Once
2:53
you've got your dough, you're just gonna roll it into a ball and roll the ball around in the sugar
2:58
to coat it and then we could just pop this right on to one of the parchment lined baking trays
3:04
Once you have a tray ready to go, you can put it straight in the oven. There is no chilling required
3:09
for this recipe and these are just gonna bake for about 10 to 13 minutes until the bottom of the
3:15
cookie starts to turn just a little bit golden your time may vary depending on the type of tray
3:21
that you're using so make sure that you go by appearance rather than just going by time
3:30
so once those are done we going to put the tray over on a wire rack to cool for about five minutes and then we will just transfer those cookies directly to the wire cooling rack so I prefer eating these cookies just like this but if you want you could also dress them up with
3:45
some white chocolate and vegan Christmas sprinkles you could either drizzle the
3:52
white chocolate on top or you could dunk in half of it into the white chocolate
3:57
and then just let it set on a wire rack and that's it
4:06
these cookies are so loaded up with flavor they are just so warm and spicy and delicious
4:17
and the soft chewy texture is amazing I promise you if you make these
4:22
no one is going to miss the dairy or the eggs Well, that is the end of this video, but if you want more holiday recipes, make sure you're subscribed and check out the playlist at the end of this video
