Soften, chewy gingerbread cookies that just happen to be vegan and gluten-free? Simply whisk together 1/2 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/4 cup molasses. Add in 1/2 cup coconut oil, softened, and 2 large eggs replaced by flax eggs*; then stir in 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves.
- Combine gluten-free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger in a substantial bowl, whisking until well incorporated. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together sunflower oil and granulated sugar until well combined, beating for approximately 2 minutes.
- Combine the oil and sugar mixture with the molasses and almond milk. Continuously mix ingredients together for exactly one minute to ensure a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Combine the dry ingredients incrementally, roughly one-third at a time, until a resilient and robust dough materializes.
- Form the dough into a flat disc, encase it in plastic wrap, and store it in the refrigerator for at least two hours or ideally overnight to allow the flavors to meld together harmoniously.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or high-quality parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance and effortless food release.
- Rolling the dough into balls approximately 0.5 to 0.75 tablespoons in size, then gently flatten each one into a uniform disk shape using your fingers or the heel of your hand. Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet in an even pattern, ensuring they are at least 2 inches away from one another.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Let cool completely before enjoying!
