Ingredients

3/4 cup vegan margarine
1 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegan plain yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup vegan confectioners sugar
2 tablespoons vegan milk

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the vegan margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the molasses and mix until fully combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Add the vegan yogurt and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out the cookies with a cookie cutter of your choice and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely before icing.

To make the icing, combine the confectioners sugar, vegan milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until it forms a thick paste. Spread the icing onto the cooled cookies and top with sprinkles, if desired. Enjoy!
