Iced Gingerbread Cookies (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
These vegan and gluten-free Iced Gingerbread Cookies are my new favorite Christmas cookie! Soft, chewy, with crisp edges and warm holiday spices, they’re an easy and delicious holiday cookie everyone will love!
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tbsp flaxseed, for the flax egg
- 3 tbsp water, for the flax egg
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup vegan butter, slightly melted * see note
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup oat flour, use certified GF as needed
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- pinch salt
Icing
- 1 cup powdered monkfruit sweetener, or powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp non-dairy milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make the flax egg by mixing together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let it gel for 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, vegan butter, flax egg, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Stir in the oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix until a dough forms, then use a cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown (13 minutes is usually perfect for me). Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set properly. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered monkfruit sweetener and non-dairy milk until a pourable glaze forms. Dip the tops of the cooled gingerbread cookies into the icing, then transfer to a wire rack to set. Enjoy!
Notes
- I usually pop my butter from the fridge straight into the microwave for 5-10 seconds so it's starting to melt, but not boiling hot. This will help the cookies spread and maintain their fluffy texture!
