Ingredients

  • 5 tbsp dairy-free butter softened (i.e. Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks)
  • cup brown sugar
  • cup molasses
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground cloves
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dairy-free butter, brown sugar, molasses, egg, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Beat the mixture until light, fluffy, and well-combined.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir together, then pour into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about ½-inch thick. Cut out with gingerbread man cookie cutters and place on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
  5. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 8-11 minutes (depending on the size of your cookies), until the cookies are just cooked through. (Do not overbake).
  6. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack. Enjoy.
