Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 cup dark brown Muscovado sugar
- 1/3 cup light syrup
- 150 g vegan unsalted butter block
- 1 tbsp Ceylon cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp ground cloves
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 360 g all-purpose flour
ICING
- 1/4 cup aquafaba, the liquid inside a can of salt-free chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1 tsp distilled white vinegar
Instructions
- Combine the water, dark brown Muscovado sugar and light syrup in a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
- Remove from the heat, stir in the vegan butter and let it melt.
- Add the spices to the mixture and allow the batter to cool without stirring.
- In a small bowl, combine the baking soda with 2oz/50g of the flour and stir into the batter, mixing well.
- Now add the rest of the flour and mix well.
- Remove the resulting dough from the saucepan and wrap it into a cling film.
- Place it in the refrigerator to cool overnight.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 347ºF/175ºC.
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and, on a floured surface, knead it until it heats up a little and becomes softer and more workable. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten it out until very thin.
- Use the cookie/biscuit cutters of your choice to create your cookies. Be sure to have a well-floured surface so the dough does not get stuck when creating the cookie shapes and breaks.
- Place the cookies on a parchment paper-lined baking tray and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, or until ready. Keep a close eye on them, as they could burn very fast!
- Let them cool on the parchment paper before handling them.
- Store them at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- In a small bowl, combine the aquafaba and cream of tartar, and using an electric mixer with beaters, whip it on medium speed; turn to high speed. Whip until foamy.
- Add icing sugar and white distilled vinegar to a medium bowl, and whip together. Stir in foamy aquafaba mix and whip until smooth. The icing should be quite thick. If too thick, add 1/2 tbsp more of aquafaba. If too thin, add 1 more tbsp of icing sugar. Drizzle a little of the icing with the whisk and if the ribbon of icing holds for a few seconds before melting back into the icing, then it has the right consistency and it’s ready to use.
- Use a piping bag or a plastic squeeze bottle to pipe the icing onto the cookies. Enjoy, they are delicious!
Notes
- Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

LOVED this recipe!!! Super delicious, and made SO many cookies!
Have you tried freezing this dough, or keeping it in the fridge a few days before cooking?
Hi Andie!
We’re so so happy that you loved our recipe 🙂
We have never tried freezing the dough but we have kept the dough in the fridge only overnight before baking. Please, if you try freezing it or keeping it in the fridge for longer, let us know how it goes 🙂
Just came back to say using this recipe again and it’s still the BEST!!!
Dough freezes ok, but definitely better in the fridge and keeps well for a few days. These gingerbread are super popular, this year I’m dipping some in vegan dark chocolate as well, but they are amazing plain with a cup of tea. Making a very merry Christmas in Australia, even though baking in 30 degree heat isn’t easy hah.
Hi Andrea!
We are SO HAPPY to hear that you love this recipe! Dipping them in dark chocolate sounds amazing! We need to try that 🙂
Christmas in Australia is a dream for us. We spent Christmas there in 2017 and it was our very best Christmas ever! We miss it a lot! Enjoy the heat… here it’s snowing and super cold!
Have a very Merry Christmas!!
