Tips for the Best Vegan Gingerbread Cookies
- Flour: If you are not gluten-free, feel free to use regular flour. I like adding oat flour to add more fiber and nutrients to these cookies but not necessary! Weigh your flour for the most accurate results. You can also spoon the flour into your measuring cup and then level off the top with a knife.
- Vegan butter: I love to use Earth Balance because it is the closest the real butter in taste and texture. Vegan butter can vary in water content, if you have used a butter that has a lower water content, you may end up with a dough that is too crumbly. If this happens, add in a small amount of non-dairy milk until you get the right consistency of dough.
- Cashew butter: I high recommend using it for extra protein, healthy fats, AND great taste/consistency. However, you can substitute with 1/4 cup extra vegan butter or almond butter as well.
- The number of gingerbread cookies you’ll make from this recipe depends on the size of your cookie cutter.
