How do these ginger molasses cookies stay together with no dairy or eggs?
Sometimes Vegan baking can be so hard for me, but not eating eggs makes me pretty motivated to figure it out when I want a treat! I used coconut butter to help them bind a bit, and it adds a note of Vegan-friendly, buttery goodness. I think the blackstrap molasses helps with the binding as well. Honestly, you’d never guess they were Vegan and egg-free if you didn’t look at the ingredients.
What about the texture though?
Sometimes baking without eggs makes good texture difficult to achieve. I love how the texture of these ginger molasses cookies turned out. They have a bit of rise to them and a chewy, gooey center. So, basically they’re exactly what my cookie dreams are made of. And I think I like them even better the day or two after I make them.
Some modifications that would be yummy
If you’re looking for more ginger, add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder. You cold also add some dried, candied ginger if you’re not worried about the refined sugar. Otherwise, raisins or chocolate chips are a fun addition. Just fold them in at the end once your batter is mixed up.
