Make Vegan Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies for a healthier and diet-friendly version of the classic Christmas cookie. These cookies are bursting with ginger flavor!
If you're looking for a healthier version of gingerbread cookies that doesn't compromise on flavor, this recipe is for you.
These vegan gingerbread cookies are PACKED with flavor. A combination of ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves brings these cookies to life. And, like in traditional gingerbread cookies, molasses helps add that deeper flavor.
The result: a super flavorful, ginger-forward cookie, that's totally WFPB and gluten-free!
Step 1. In a large bowl whisk together the maple syrup, molasses, and nut butter.
Step 2. Add the vanilla and flax egg and whisk again.
Step 3. Add the cassava flour, oat flour, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, baking powder and salt. Stir well. Cover and refrigerated for 1 hour. Towards the end of the hour, preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
Step 4. Transfer the dough to a cutting board sprinkled with cassava flour. Use a rolling pin or drinking glass to roll the dough flat (about 1/8" thickness). You can do this in two batches. Use a cookie cutter to cut out gingerbread men, or your preferred shape. Re-roll any remaining dough and continue until all the dough has been portioned.
Step 5. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on exact size of cookie cutters). Let cool on the pan.
Step 6. When the cookies are cool, melt the white chocolate. Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
Step 7. Spoon the chocolate into a piping bag or a plastic zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. Decorate as desired. Then set the cookies aside for a few minutes to set. Enjoy!
Yes. In order for the dough to be stiff enough to roll out it needs to be refrigerated. Without refrigeration the dough will be extremely sticky and unworkable.
Store these cookies in in an air-tight container at room temperature. These cookies will last 7-10 days.
You can also freeze these cookies. Place in a zip top bag and freeze for up to six months.
Thank you God for this healthy version of gingerbread cookies. Help us to celebrate You this Christmas. Amen.
