Vegan Gingerbread Cut-Out Cookies,This egg-free and dairy-free recipe for a chewy gingerbread cookie is from Sarah Kramer’s cookbook, “La Dolce Vegan!” (2005) and reprinted in today’s local paper. For vegan frosting, use five parts icing sugar to one part water, blending until thick. or you can use chocolate peanut butter spread. Dough must chill for 2-4 hours. (While baking the first batch, return the dough to the fridge to chill it so dough doesn’t stick to the rolling pin. Allow cookie sheet to cool before reusing.),My cookies began to burn on the bottom even when only cooking for 6 minutes. Why? Please help! Also I’m considering adding just a tad more cinnamon or vanilla, any thoughts? Maybe I’ll try the sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. P.s. don’t laugh at me too much lol,The basis for this recipe is good, but it is not very sweet. I am not sure whether it has to do with the type of molasses used (mine was an organic health food brand that was very dark and somewhat bitter), and could see why one reviewer compared the results to poo. 🙂 I found I needed to double the sugar so it would taste close to a standard Gingerbread. The dough was also already not forming, so I added a little extra water to make it form. The dough is a little tricky to roll. It does work best if you press it out with your hands or the pin, and then roll to evenly spread. The dough is also pretty sticky, so we had to flour or grease any cookie cutters with a closed top. After baking, and with the modifications, the cookies turned out pretty good. If you don’t roll them too thinly and don’t overbake they are perfect. It was nice to have a Gingerbread cookie we could all enjoy with our vegan daughter.
