A handful of pantry staple ingredients is all you need for cookies that are firm on the outside, chewy on the inside, and packed with old-fashioned holiday flavor.
Ingredients for Vegan Ginger Cookies
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 rounded tablespoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

How to Make Vegan Ginger Cookies
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
STEP THREE: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the sugar, molasses, vegetable oil, molasses, oat milk, and vanilla extract.
STEP FOUR: Gradually beat in the flour mixture until it forms a stiff and sticky dough.
STEP FIVE: Lightly wet your hands and roll the dough into approximately 24 balls, placing them on the cookie sheets about 3 inches apart.
