Fill your home with the aroma of Gluten free vegan gingerbread cookies. These are soft and chewy with the perfect amount of spice. They are made with simple ingredients and are ready in around 30 minutes.
Make a well in the middle of the flour and add coconut oil, treacle (blackstrap molasses) and aquafaba. Use a wooden/silicone spoon to fold all the ingredients together until you need to use your hands to form the dough. Dough will be fudge like.
⅛ cup + 1 tablespoon Coconut oil, ¼ cup Blackstrap molasses, 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon Aquafaba
Divide dough into four evenly portioned balls. Use the palm of your hands to flatten the dough into approximately 7½mm (⅓”) thick onto a silicone baking mat. See notes. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the desired shapes. Peel away the unused dough. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
Carefully transfer the cut out cookies to a lined baking sheet tray and bake in a preheated 170C (340F) fan forced oven for 9 minutes. Allow cookies to cool down on a cooling rack, cookies will harden further as they cool. Enjoy as is, or decorate with vegan royal icing.

Notes
I highly recommend you use a kitchen scale to weigh and measure the flour.Yield may vary depending on the size of your cookie cutters.
US cups and spoons measurements have been used. 1 cup is 240ml, 1 tablespoon is 15ml, 1 teaspoon is 5ml.
