I associate a variety of spices with Christmas… cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course, ginger. All of these are smells of Christmas. This dairy-free recipe is a great one. Delicious vegan ginger snaps!

I modified this wonderful recipe which I found on allrecipes.com.

DAIRY-FREE GINGER SNAPS

The Ingredients
2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 Tbsp (heaping) ground ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
Egg replacer (enough for one egg)
1/4 cup organic molasses (trust me… the extra expense of organic molasses makes a huge difference to the taste of your cookies)
1 1/2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup cinnamon sugar

The Process

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl.

Stir the mixture well and then sift a second time. ** Sifting is CRITICAL to this recipe… do not skip these steps.**

In a different bowl, beat shortening until creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar, molasses, applesauce and the egg replacer.

Sift 1/3 cup of the flour mixture at a time into the shortening mixture. A soft dough will form.

Roll 1 TBSP of dough into balls and then roll in the cinnamon sugar before placing on prepared cookie sheets. Space the balls of dough approximately 2 inches apart.

Don’t flatten the balls.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. The top of the cookies will be rounded, light brown, and slightly cracked.

Cool for a few minutes on tray before transferring the cookies onto a wire rack. Once completely cooled store in an airtight container.

Enjoy!
