These Vegan Triple Ginger Cookies are soft and chewy, filled with molasses, fresh, candied and powdered ginger.

One word for these cookies… mmmmfmmmmmhmmm.

Ok my mouth is full. That crackly gingery sugary goodness.



All Whole grain, all ginger-y with fresh ginger, powdered ginger and candied ginger. Crackly outside, Soft and melt in your mouth inside. These cookies need to be made!

There is limited oil and sugar in the cookies. All that molasses makes these moist and sweet. For gluten-free Ginger Molasses cookies see here.

I used powdered cinnamon and cloves which I grind at home, so the spices are fresher and stronger. Add a bit more of the store bought ones for the a spicier cookie. You can use shortening or vegan butter as well. Melt it to a soft consistency and proceed.

Add a teaspoon more of ginger powder if you dont have candied ginger or fresh ginger or both, for a similar effect. Bake them a few minutes longer for a snappy ginger snap.



Imagine an Ice-cream sandwich with the cookies! Jules asked me for an ice-cream pairing with the cookies. I was hoping to make some yesterday but that did not happen because mommy duties took over. I am thinking pumpkin pie ice cream or carrot cake ice cream in between 2 soft cookies. What say…:)







Since I am not using vegan margarine/butter or high-fat oil like coconut, the cookies will not spread from a ball to flat when baked. Shape them the shape you want them to be in. They will expand a bit and crack.

And I can never chop up the crystallized ginger slices, so I use diced crystallized ginger!
