The countdown to Christmas had begun! And I couldn't wait a second longer to share with you a holiday favorite, my Chewy Vegan Gingersnaps that will make your house Santa's favorite stop of the night! They are crispy and ripply on the outside, then chewy goodness on the inside with hints of fresh ginger.
No kidding - these cookies barely last a day from the moment they are taken out of the oven!
Plus, your kitchen will smell heavenly!!
Instead of the classic sugar cookie, we've switched up Santa's decorated cookies for these delicious, egg-free gingersnaps. While I am still playing around to create the perfect eggless royal icing recipe, below is my traditional go-to for those that are not vegan.
Ingredients:
2 cups Confectioners' Sugar
1.5 tbsp. Meringue Powder
4-5 tbsp. Water, room temperature
Food Coloring (I used white, red, and black for these reindeers!)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients on a low speed until incorporated. Then, increase speed to high to beat for 1-2 minutes, until thick and smooth. Add more water / confectioners' sugar depending on the consistency (using a whisk, the icing should drizzle down and smooth out within 8-10 seconds).
Now, it's time to grab our aprons and begin baking a little holiday cheer!
