Ginger Crinkle Cookies are so festive. With the perfect blend of spices and molasses, these holiday cookies are chewy with beautiful cracks that develop as they bake.
Ginger Crinkle Cookies
Meet my new favorite holiday cookie – gingerbread cookies. Like chocolate crinkle cookies, they are coated in powdered sugar and develop deep cracks as they bake.
The difference between this and the more common chocolate version is that ginger crinkle cookies are full of ginger, cinnamon, molasses, and brown sugar. They taste like a gingerbread cookie but better!
Like most of my dessert recipes, these can be made in 1 bowl (but you need two smaller bowls to roll the cookie dough). I love easy recipes!
You might also consider making these Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies, which have a beautiful red color and cookie shape reminiscent of Red Velvet Cake.

-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place granulated sugar in a small bowl and powdered sugar in another bowl. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, add brown sugar and softened vegan butter. Use an electric mixer and beat until creamy, 1-2 minutes.
-
Add the molasses and milk and beat with the butter and sugar until smooth and well combined.
-
Turn off the mixer and add the flour. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt over the dough. Turn on the mixer and mix until combined.
-
Scoop 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball first in granulated sugar, then coat generously with powdered sugar.
-
Place about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes until set. They will appear soft and squishy, but harden as they cool. If you overbake, they will harden as they cool, so don’t try to overbake them.
-
Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Enjoy! Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. They freeze well. Enjoy!
- Light brown sugar will work, but I prefer dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer flavor.
- Any non-dairy milk will work here.
- For gluten free, substitute a quality gluten free flour mix.
