Cookie recipe for Santa.🧑‍🎄

A great treat from our current cookbook, these molasses and spiced cookies are perfect for holiday treats. Rolling and pressing them is also a fun kid-friendly activity when preparing for Santa.

Molasses Sugar Cookies

Yields: 2 dozen cookies  

Ingredients:

¾ cup melted vegan shortening (or margarine)
1 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup soy milk
2¼ cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Allow the shortening to cool to room temperature and place it in a medium mixing bowl. Add the 1 cup of sugar, molasses, and soy milk, then beat well with a whisk.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing well. Refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. Let the dough sit on the counter for 15 minutes to soften a bit. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, form the dough into 1-inch balls using a small ice cream scoop and flatten them slightly with your palms. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets and sprinkle them with the remaining sugar.
6. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Serve.

Variation: Don’t have molasses? Make Sugar Cookies instead by omitting the molasses, cloves, and ginger and add 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract and 1½ teaspoons orange zest to the wet ingredient mixture.
