Vegan Gingerbread Cookies with Soy Milk

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 3 baking sheets.

Step 2
Mix shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, and soy milk together in a bowl using an electric mixer. Add molasses and blend until smooth.

Step 3
Combine flour, ginger, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Pour into the bowl with the shortening mixture; mix dough by hand until thoroughly combined.

Step 4
Pour 1/3 cup sugar into a shallow bowl. Roll dough into balls and roll in sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart and flatten slightly.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on the baking sheet.
