Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

February 18, 2021 by emmamcdonald Leave a Comment

Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

These vegan gingerbread cookies taste just like the classics! Complete with an eggless royal icing that hardens, made with Aquafaba. Aquafaba is the water from a can of chickpeas, that acts like egg whites in baking. But not to worry, you cannot taste the chickpeas! If you try these vegan gingerbread cookies, let me know in the comments or tag @plentyfullvegan on Instagram!
