Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tbsp Oil I have used olive or avocado oil in this recipe. Use your oil of choice.
  • 4 Tbsp Vegan Margarine
  • 1/2 Cup Pure Cane White Sugar
  • 1 Egg Substitute Equal to 1 egg. I used a powdered egg substitute.
  • 2 Tbsp Molasses I used a blackstrap molasses.
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 2 Tbsp Warm Water
  • 3 Cups All Purpose White Flour
  • 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Equipment

  • 1 Free-standing mixer

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, mix the powdered egg substitute to the package direction and set aside to thicken.
  2. With a standing mixer, cream together the margarine, oil, and sugar.
  3. After this is blended, add the egg substitute to the mixing bowl along with the molasses, blend until well combined.
  4. Next add the warm water and baking soda to the mixing bowl, blend.
  5. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the flour and all the spices until well combined.
  6. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  7. Once all the dry ingredients are well incorporated, form the dough into a large ball and cover the bowl.
  8. Place the bowl into the refrigerator over night.
The next day
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Remove the bowl from the refrigerator.
  4. NOTE: I noticed the dough was much darker the next day.
  5. Flour the counter top and place the ball of dough onto the floured counter top.
  6. Divide the dough ball into quarters, leave one to roll out on the counter and set the other three aside.
  7. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter.
  8. Continue with the rest of the dough, rolling out and cutting into cookies.
  9. Fill the baking sheets with the cookies, about 1/2 inch apart.
  10. Place both baking sheets into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  11. After 5 minutes, rotate the baking sheet and bake for another 4 to 5 minutes.
  12. The cookies will have a slightly brown edge when done.
  13. Once the cookies are done, remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.
  14. After the cookies have cooled completely, store in a air tight container leaving on the counter or freeze for later.
  15. Serve these flavorful spiced cookies with your favorite beverage or along side your favorite ice cream.
