Recipe of Vegan gingerbread (gingerbread)

These vegan gingerbread cookies are the perfect choice to enjoy Christmas without giving up traditional flavor. Gingerbread is a classic Anglo-Saxon treat, here adapted to a 100% plant-based version, using aquafaba (the liquid from cooking legumes) as an egg substitute and margarine instead of butter. The result: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and with that unmistakable aroma of ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.

This recipe is ideal for anyone looking for a vegan holiday dessert that is easy to make and perfect for sharing with family. The dough comes together in minutes and, after a rest in the fridge, is rolled out and cut into cookie shapes. Then, they are baked and decorated with vegan royal icing and colored fondant, creating pieces as beautiful as they are delicious.

There are many gingerbread variations: some add nuts, others make it more spiced, but this version keeps the classic balance. If you love cookies, you'll adore this recipe. It's also a great option for gifting, decorating the tree, or leaving on the table for those with a sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    In the mixer (if you don't have it, handy) with the shovel, mix the margarine with the pan. Add the aquafaba and continue mixing.

  2. 2

    Sift the flour together with the baking soda. And we mix again.

  3. 3

    Add the spices and continue whisking. And finally we add the molasses.

  4. 4

    We finish kneading with our hand and roll into a ball and put 30 minutes in the fridge.

  5. 5

    After that time, we divided it into two and between two sheets of parchment paper and helped by 2 strips so that the cookies come out the same, we roll a rolling pin over it and stretch the dough.

  6. 6

    We have 2 options. Put it in the fridge for at least 1 hour, the longer the better and then cut. Or we can cut directly with a pasta cutter with the shape we like best.

  7. 7

    In the oven tray we put parchment paper and place our gingerbread dolls. Put it in the fridge for 1 hour. The longer the better.

  8. 8

    With the oven preheated to 175° heat up and down, put the tray in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes (you already know that the time depends on your oven).

  9. 9

    We take out the tray, wait a couple of minutes and move on to a rack to cool.

  10. 10

    With the rods, beat the aquafaba and icing sugar at medium-high speed. Add a splash of lemon juice and beat at high speed until it peaks.

  11. 11

    Put it in a pastry bag with a small nozzle (from No. 1 or 2) or cut off a small spout. We make the shape of the mouth, eyes, eyebrows. We can decorate however we like.

  12. 12

    To finish with colored fondant (or skittles) we make the buttons. We can also make candy canes with fondant to decorate.
