6-Ingredient Molasses Cookies (Vegan!)

allison 2

What are vegan molasses spice cookies you ask? Ginger. Molasses. Nutmeg. Cinnamon. Crackling crinkling outside. Soft and chewy middle. The perfect cold weather cookie. Easy. Fast. Delicious.

This minimalist recipe takes all of the autumnal comforts and wraps them up into one cookie. Bonus? These guys are free from any animal products. No dairy. No eggs. Just pure ooyey gooey molasses spice bliss.

I searched online and I couldn’t seem to find any good recipes that didn’t require a flax egg, or a chia egg, or some sort of tapioca or other fancy ingredients that I did not have on hand. So, I decided to use my pastry knowledge to create my very own recipe without gritty egg substitutes. That’s right. A vegan cookie WITHOUT flax eggs. Magic.

While I have a bunch of cookie recipes up on this blog (like these other molasses cookies, or these cardamom shortbread, or my most popular chocolate chunk) this is somehow the FIRST vegan cookie recipe that I’m posting. Really. I don’t know how it’s taken me this long to share vegan desserts with you – but the wait is over! Whether your diet is plant based or not, these will please EVERY palette! What’s more, they’re SUPER easy to make. The hardest part? Waiting for them to cool so you can sink your teeth right in!

And yes, the cookies only have 6 ingredients plus spices. Don’t have all of these spices on hand? Maybe you just don’t like nutmeg? No problem! It works well with a blend of whatever you have & whatever you enjoy.

I left out the ginger (since I didn’t have any on hand) but they still came out fantastic! It was my first time making molasses cookies and it was so much easier than I thought it would be.
