First, add room temperature vegan butter, molasses, brown sugar and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix until completely combined and no clumps of butter remain.

Lightly spray a bowl with nonstick spray. Place the big ball of dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour up to 24 hours.

After chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Then, roll out to ¼ inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out gingerbread men.

Gather up the scraps of dough and roll out. Repeat process.

Once all of the dough has been cut into gingerbread men, place on pan. Leave 1 inch between each cookie.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough for Perfect Shape 🧊Refrigerate your dough for at least 2 hours before rolling and cutting to prevent spreading and ensure crisp, well-defined gingerbread shapes with clean edges.
- Bloom Your Spices in Molasses 🌟Mix your ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves directly into the molasses before combining with other wet ingredients to intensify and deepen the warm spice flavors throughout the cookies.
- Room Temperature Vegan Butter Matters 🧈Ensure your vegan butter is at room temperature and cream it thoroughly with brown sugar for 2-3 minutes to incorporate air, resulting in lighter, more tender cookies with better texture.
- Don't Overbake for Chewy Centers 🍪Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the hot baking sheet, creating that perfect balance of crispy edges and soft, chewy centers.
- Toast Whole Spices First 🔥For maximum flavor intensity, lightly toast whole ginger, cinnamon sticks, and cloves in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes, then grind them fresh just before baking instead of using pre-ground spices.
