How to make it
- Cookies
- 1.Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F (or 175 degrees C).
- 2.Using a food processor, process the crystalized ginger until it becomes a sticky texture.
- 3.Sift the flour and and it to a large bowl with the spices, salt, and baking soda.
- 4.Melt the vegan butter, and mix it with the molasses and water.
- 5.Combine the molasses mixture into the flour and use a wooden spoon to mix the dough well.
- 6.When the wet and dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed, put the dough onto a floured surface and knead with your hands until completely smooth.
- 7.Separate the dough into half, and begin to roll out the first half until it is roughly 1/4 inches thick.
- 8.Using any cookie cutter you desire (I used these snowflake stampers/cutters from Amazon) cut out the dough and place cookies onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- 9.Re-roll the dough until you have used it to cut all the cookies, making sure to flour the surface every time so that you can easily take the cookies off the counter.
- 10.Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes and wait another 10 minutes for them to cool on the baking sheet before removing.
- Royal Icing
- 1.Sift 1 cup of confectioners sugar into a medium bowl.
- 2.Add in the water and vanilla extract.
- 3.Mix until icing is thick but able to still be spread easily.
- 4.Pour into an icing bottle so you can easily drizzle it on the cookies
