As I am introducing more and more vegan meals into my life, I decided to try a vegan cookie recipe this year which I found on the My Darling Vegan blog. They were a hit! So I thought I’d share them with you!
Vegan Molasses Holiday Cookies
Makes about 2-1/2 dozen
Ingredients:
(Use organic when possible.)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt (preferably pink Himalayan salt)
- ½ cup (about 1 stick) vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp molasses
- ½ cup sugar for rolling
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl combine flour, baking soda and powder, spices and salt.
- In a separate bowl beat vegan butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add oil and molasses and mix to combine. In several batches add the dry ingredients until a dough begins to form. Don’t over mix.
- Place the rolling sugar in a small bowl. Pinch off about 1 tbsp of dough and roll into a ball. Coat with sugar and place on baking sheet. I pressed the top of the ball of dough with a fork.
- Bake for about 10-13 minutes until the edges begin to firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack and allow to cool completely. (But they are really good warm too!)
Enjoy making some special memories of your own this holiday season!
