Vegan Ginger Cookies

Vegan Ginger Cookies!

These ginger cookies are incredibly soft and chewy. They’re rolled in cinnamon sugar to achieve a slightly crispy outside and soft center when fresh out of the oven. They’re vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.

These cookies are made from a base of almond flour, coconut oil, molasses, and maple syrup. They feature a warm spiced flavour from cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Rolling the cookies in a cinnamon sugar coating (I used coconut sugar for a natural option) before baking creates a decadent and crispy coating. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, and will soften slightly when stored in the fridge.
