A delicious, vegan treat to celebrate the holidays with.
- 1 Tablespoon Ground Chia Seeds
- 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Molasses or Organic Maple Syrup
- 1/2 Cup Vegan Butter Room Temperature
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Ginger
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Clove
- 1/4 Teaspoon Sea Salt
-
Make Chia Egg by combing the 1 tablespoon of Ground Chia Seeds with 3 tablespoons of warm water. Mix and allow to sit for at least 5 minutes.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine vegan butter, coconut sugar, brown sugar, molasses, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract, and chia egg. Mix until everything is combined. Set to the side.
-
In a separate bowl, sift all purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and sea salt.
-
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mixing until well incorporated. I like to kneed with my hands until a dough is formed.
-
After the dough is formed, wrap in plastic wrap and allow to chill in fridge for at least 2 hours.
-
Once chilled, divide the dough into two portions. Take one of the portions and roll out on a lightly floured surfaced. Using a rolling pin, try to get the dough to about 1/4 of an inch thick. Using your favorite cookie cutters, cut out your shapes.
-
Place your cookies on to a parchment or silicone lined sheet tray. Place back into the fridge to chill for 15 minutes. This helps prevent the cookies from losing their shape during the baking process.
-
While your cookies are chilling, preheat the oven to 325*F. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Your cookies edges will should become a little bit darker.
-
Once baked, allow to cool completely before decorating. Decorate to your hearts desire. 🙂
-
Enjoy!
