These lovely cookies from Vegan with a Vengeance are so insanely sweet that you might need to run off afterwards to brush your teeth! Perfect for those days when only the richest, most syrupy confections will do. Not only do these taste great, they look pretty too – the sugar sparkles on the top of these cookies definitely appeal to my inner child.
I really like the fact that the basic ingredients for these are the kind you’ll probably have in your cupboards anyway once you’ve started baking (e.g. flour, sugar, oil, baking soda, soya milk – luckily for me I had golden syrup to substitute for the molasses in the recipe, and also had ground ginger in stock).
Next time I’m going to try using black treacle instead of golden syrup, and muscovado sugar instead of golden caster sugar, to see if I can get a slightly darker taste to it. Oh, and I’ll probably throw in some chopped glacé ginger, but then I add that to just about everything ginger-flavoured!
Yum! Those look so good, certainly very pretty
