vegan molasses cookies

Vegan molasses cookies that are wonderfully soft and chewy, deliciously spiced with perfect molasses flavor. Super easy recipe and an ideal holiday cookie!

Vegan Molasses Cookies

(170 grams) Vegan Butter

(150 grams) Brown Sugar

(60 milliliters) Unsulphured Molasses

tsp Vanilla Extract

(280 grams) All Purpose Flour

1 and 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

tsp Ground Ginger

1 and 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon

tsp Ground Cloves

tsp Nutmeg

Salt

Tbsp Soy Milk*

(50 grams) White Sugar (for rolling)

Add the vegan butter and brown sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer and cream them together. Then add the molasses and vanilla and mix them in.

Add the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt and mix in with the wet ingredients using a spoon (don&#8217;t use the electric mixer for this part) until crumbly.

Then add in the soy milk, only as much as you need so that the cookies can easily be rolled into balls. If your vegan butter has a higher water content, you might not need all the soy milk. I used all of it, but just know that you only need to use as much as required so that the dough comes together enough that it will easily roll into a balls.

Roll the balls in white sugar and place onto a parchment lined baking tray aiming for around 20 cookies. Flatten them with a fork.

Place into the oven and bake for 12 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool and firm up on the baking tray before moving them.

I LOVE molasses cookies and these look wonderful!

I tried this recipe last week, and the cookies turned out perfectly and incredibly delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, and everything turned out beautifully. Even my non-vegan family and friends loved them. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

Wow I'm amazed! I just made these, they are SO GOOD. My boyfriend will be happy :) Thank you for the recipe!

These are amazing cookies.  Slightly firm on outside with soft centers. I didn’t need to use any milk.  I shared them and everybody loved them

So I made teeny tiny alterations to the recipe: (I always reduce the baking soda a tiny bit or we taste the flavor), I switched about 1/4 of the vegan butter for vegetable shortening and we were out of regular white sugar so I rolled in coconut sugar. Used a cookie scoop and didn't end up needing any soy milk (very warm here + soft vegan butter, the dough was actually extremely soft).12 mins was perfect! Just the right amount of chewy, totally delicious.

Vegan Ginger Molasses Cookies made in just one bowl with our homemade flax egg recipe are the perfect holiday treat.

Vegan Ginger Cookies

1.5 tbsp ground flaxseeds (or egg replacer of your choice)

/ 250 g powdered sugar

tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tbsp gingerbread spice mix

molasses

tsp baking soda pinch of salt

flour

Prep flax egg

Prepare flax egg. Mix together ground flaxseeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Let stand for 5-10 minutes, until thickens.

Add wet ingredients to bowl and mix

Add butter to a bowl, and using an electric whisk start to mix on low. Add sifted sugar, and mix until combined. Add vanilla, spice mix, molasses, baking soda, and salt, and keep on mixing, until creamy and well combined.

Add flour (dry ingredient)

Start adding flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until everything is completely combined.

Cover dough and let chill in fridge 

Cover dough and place in the fridge for at least 1,5 hours, but ideally overnight.
After the chilling time, preheat the oven to 400 F/200 C.

Bake cookies

Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon portions (a mini ice cream scoop works best for this). Roll into small balls, and place on a baking tray, leaving some space between them. Work in batches, if needed.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the edges are crispy. Allow them to cool slightly, then transfer them to a cookie rack to cool completely.
Cookies are best on the day of baking, but your can store any leftovers in an airtight container for a couple of days.


These vegan molasses cookies are made with coconut oil and have the best ginger-molasses flavor with hints of cinnamon. These cookies are so chewy and soft and they have no butter in them! They are sweetened with applesauce for an extra moist texture and are absolutely perfect for the holiday season.

whole wheat pastry flour (or white whole wheat flour)

baking powder

ginger

salt

coconut sugar

coconut oil (solid)

applesauce

vanilla extract

cinnamon (or ginger)

Preheat oven and grease pan.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper.

Whisk dry ingredients.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger, and salt. Set aside.

Cream oil and sugar.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the coconut oil, coconut sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and combine.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in small increments and mix on low speed until combined. Don&#39;t overmix! Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. A dough will form.

Stir sugar and cinnamon topping.

In a small bowl, stir together the coconut sugar and ground cinnamon for rolling the cookies.

Scoop cookie dough and roll in sugar.

Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough into balls. Roll them in the cinnamon sugar topping and place on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.

Gently flatten cookies.

Use your hands or the back of a spatula to gently flatten the cookies on the baking sheet. This will help them spread while baking.

Bake cookies and let cool.

Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes or until the tops have started to crack and the edges are set. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. This helps them set up.
