Stress-Free Vegan Holiday Gingerbread Cookies
And keep in mind that these cookies are a bit molasses-forward, so if you're not a fan, you could use less and add more of the spices. Try with candied ginger, stevia, honey, or just lots of freshly ground black pepper if you want more of a kick. Make as much as the dough as you can to build a mansion of a gingerbread house. No one will know these cookies are vegan, and you'll find yourself going to this recipe again and again whenever the holidays roll around.
