Gingerbread Cookies

1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup agave nectar
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup plain soy milk

2 - 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Spices:

1/2 teaspoon each ground nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger


Directions:

Mix oil and sugar. Add molasses and soy milk.

Add in all of the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough is stiff. It is helpful if you allow the dough to chill for at least 10 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

On a pre-floured surface, roll the cookie dough out flat. Use cookie cutters to create desired shapes. Transfer to a greased cookie sheet. Do not forget to create a hole at the top of the cookie if you wish to hang it.

Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes before removing from pan.

  2. OK, I am totally loving your site! I have to make these. These are ing. we always have. Can I use rice milk instead of soy?

    Oh, and I made the veggie/rice casserole. It was good. I had to use a little more rice on top and bottom and we added veggie pasta sauce on top for more flavor! Thanks for the recipe idea!
