Learn how to bake VEGETARIAN (Lacto) Gingerbread Cookies w/ Maple Syrup! #cookies #recipe

Follow the recipe below!

Ingredients:

– 1 cup butter room temp or softened (slightly)

– 2/3 cup brown sugar (or less if using (more) maple syrup) I USED 1/3 BROWN SUGAR

– 1/3 cup molasses (I USED MAPLE SYRUP INSTEAD…use 1/4 cup less when using maple syrup instead of molasses, BUT in this case I USED 1/3 cup maple syrup and less liquids/less brown sugar from other ingredients…OR add a bit more flour…)

– 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

– 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

– 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

– 2 1/2 tsp ground ginger

– 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

– 1/2 tsp salt

(Makes about 24 cookies total)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.

2. In a large bowl, mix together butter and brown sugar. Stir in molasses (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract.

3. In a smaller bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir to combine.

4. Roll out/hand form/mold dough to about 1/4″ to 1/3″ thickness or (whatever thickness you feel like I honestly don’t care) then lie on baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. Bake at 350F for 8-12 minutes. Account for cookie size and thickness.

6. Allow to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring to a WIRE RACK to cool completely (note: the wire rack is imperative as it allows the cookies to set and if you do not have a wire rack then you are an embarrassment you will never be a baker and don’t even try doing this recipe because it is for bakers with wire racks only).
