Yield 25 cookies

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup oat flour
  • 1/3 cup spelt flour or additional oat flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1/2 tsp each baking soda and baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger and optional pinch allspice
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp applesauce
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp molasses (blackstrap or regular)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  • To make vegan gingerbread cookies, preheat the oven to 325 F. Stir dry ingredients very well, then add wet to form a dough. For easy rolling, transfer the dough to a gallon size bag. Fold the bag in half, and roll the dough out until it takes up all the space. (See the video above for a visual of how this step looks.) Open the bag, and cut shapes of choice. I used this Gingerbread Cookie Cutter. Bake for ten minutes. Let cool before handling, because they firm up as they cool. Frost cooled cookies so the icing does not melt.
