Vegan No Chill Gingerbread Cookies Recipes

VEGAN GINGERBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the flour, spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt together until combined. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the vegan butter and sugar at a medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the molasses, pumpkin, maple syrup, vanilla extract and lemon zest. Mix until combined.
• Mix in the flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, mixing each addition until fully incorporated and a dough has formed. Scrape sides as needed.
• Divide the dough into two balls and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 350˚F and line baking sheets with parchment.
• Working on a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick and cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto prepared baking sheet with about 1-inch spacing between the cookies.
• Bake cookies for 8 - 10 minutes, or until edges are firm and tops are set but still soft. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, water, corn syrup, vanilla extract and salt together until smooth. Transfer to a piping back with a small round tip and decorate cookies as desired.

VEGAN NO-CHILL GINGERBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat over to 350°F Lightly grease baking sheets.
• Add oil, baking powder, sugars, molasses, soy milk, vanilla, and spices to a mixing bowl and combine with a whisk.
• Stir flour in 1/2 cup at a time with a large spoon. When the dough is too thick to mix any more flour in with the spoon, knead it in with your hands. NOTE: I use Silk soy milk. The wet/dry balance of the dough may vary depending on the type and even brand of milk substitute you are using. The dough should form a ball when squeezed together but not be sticky in your hands. As you add flour, knead each 1/2 cup addition in thoroughly and check for this. If it is getting too dry to hold together as a ball, either stop adding flour or add a bit more of your liquid. If it is sticky feeling, you need a little more flour.
• When your dough is done, take a handful of dough, shape it into a ball in your hands, and roll the dough out on a floured surface. If the dough is sticking to the rolling pin, dust the top of the ball of dough with flour before rolling. (If after a while the dough becomes too dry to form a ball after repeated rolling out and dusting with flour, knead 2-3 drops of water into it to get it to form a ball again. ).
• Cut into desired shapes. Lift shapes with spatula onto lightly greased baking sheets.
• Bake for eight minutes. Place baking sheets on a towel to cool (not a cooling rack). Use a spatula to loosen cookies from sheets immediately.
• Allow cookies to cool and decorate as desired.

Steps:

• Combine molasses, brown sugar, and shortening in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add cold water and blend until smooth. (Shortening may separate a bit; this is fine.)
• Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, and salt in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to molasses mixture, blending until incorporated and dough is soft. Shape dough into 2 balls and place in the refrigerator until chilled, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Working in batches, place one ball of chilled dough on a lightly floured surface and roll to 1/4-inch thickness, or 1/2-inch thickness for softer cookies. Cut out cookies with desired cookie cutters and place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake cookies in the preheated oven until edges are firm, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack immediately after baking to cool. Allow to cool completely if frosting.
