Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and brown sugar. Stir in the molasses and egg until well-combined, then stir in the vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  3. Add the flour to the mixing bowl on top of the other ingredients. Add the baking soda and salt over the flour. Gently stir the baking soda and salt into the flour, then combine with the rest of the ingredients underneath until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
  4. Place the granulated sugar in a separate small bowl. Roll heaping tablespoons of dough into the granulated sugar, then place on the baking sheet. Repeat until all dough has been used.
  5. Bake the cookies at 350 degrees F for 9 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are a light golden-brown color and starting to crack on top. Let cool then enjoy!
