Warm your kitchen with the irresistible smell of Vegan Spiced Cookies—soft, chewy, and packed with cozy spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. This dairy-free and egg-free recipe uses wholesome ingredients like unsweetened applesauce and melted coconut oil, creating a perfectly moist texture without any animal products. These spiced delights come together with just 15 minutes of prep time and bake to golden perfection in 12 minutes, making them an easy yet impressive treat. Whether you're serving them with a comforting cup of tea or giving them as a thoughtful vegan gift, these cookies are a festive and flavorful addition to any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie as they will spread slightly.
Flatten each ball of dough gently with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a cookie shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The center may look slightly underdone, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your vegan spiced cookies with a hot cup of tea or coffee!
