Hello friends,
Today I want to share a new cookie recipe I tried this week. I wanted to make a chocolate cookie, but I don’t like overly chocolatey flavors. I’ve been using ginger a lot lately so I decided to give it a try. What follows is a recipe for a chewy, moist cookies with light chocolate and ginger flavors.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Cheers!

Vegan Chocolate Ginger Sugar Cookies
Time
- 30 minutes (10 cook, 20 prep)
Servings
- 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups, whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp, baking soda
- 2 tsp, baking powder
- 3/4 tsp ,salt
- 1/3 cup, vegan butter, I used Earth Balance, softened
- 1/4 cup, water
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup, soy milk
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated vegan sugar or sugar alternative (I used Truvia baking blend)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp, ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp, vegan cocoa powder (I used dark ghirardelli)
- 1/2 cup, decorative vegan sugar crystals or raw sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
- Mix the whole wheat flour, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, baking powder and the cocoa powder.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the vegan butter, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and water.
- Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- You should start to see a moist ball of dough form; however, it will likely still be a bit dry. Slowly add in the soy milk until the dough is coated.
- Once the dough is ready, scoop small golf-ball size clumps of dough and roll into 1 inch balls.
- Roll the dough balls in the decorative sugar and place on the lined baking sheets.
- Bake for ~9-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, transfer to cooling racks, and allow to cool completely before enjoying these delectable cookies!
Sounds good! You bake ’em. I’ll taste ’em 😉
