Vegan Crispy Molasses Cookies

1 Comment Posted by rpattzlawyer on December 7, 2010

Okay, it’s gotten to the point where Christmas is inevitable. Well, at least Christmas celebrations. And I’ve been invited to a cookie swap. Accordingly, I’ve been looking for some vegan cookies to make that are quick and easy… I slightly adapted this recipe from one I found at Hell Yeah It’s Vegan!

Crispy Molasses Cookies

2/3 cup vegetable oil
¼ cup molasses
2 tbsp. ground flax seeds whisked into 3 tbsp. warm water
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 ½ tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. baking soda

Combine the oil, molasses, flax seeds mixed with water, and brown sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate, for 1 hour. Shape cookie dough into 1″ balls and place on baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 13-15 minutes.
