Today has been one of my favorite days ever. It's snowing a lot, and we didn't have school, so I spent my morning reading Georgette Heyer and my afternoon making vegan ginger snaps. So except for the Dreaded Spectre of Physics, which cast a shadow over a few midday hours, my life is awesome!
These are the vegan ginger snaps! I'm so impressed with their beauty that I've decided to post the recipe, which is combined from different internet recipes and partly made up. It's so easy that when I put the oven on to preheat before I start, I'm actually READY to put them in the oven about ten minutes after it finishes preheating. Which is a big deal, for me. Also, for some reason, I call them social justice ginger snaps. They give me hope that maybe, someday, I'll become vegan...
Social Justice Ginger Snaps
Ingredients:
-1c brown sugar
-0.75 c vegetable oil
-0.25 c molasses (or maple syrup, if you're boring)
-0.25 c apple sauce (can substitute 1 egg, or egg substitute, or 0.25 c plain yogurt...if you are a DISRUPTER OF THE VEGAN-NESS.)
-2 c flour
-2 tsp baking soda
-0.25 tsp salt
-1 tsp ground cinammon
-0.5 tsp ground cloves
-1 tsp ground ginger
-Random amount of white sugar
Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine in the order written, and knead together. Make little balls of cookie dough, coat in lots of white sugar, and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake! Eat!
After you've inevitably eaten most of the ingredients in various stages of cooked-ness, you should have about 25 cookies left. Enjoy!

Not a fan of ginger but these look cute :)
Thanks Ari! Mind if I steal your 30-day-blog idea? :)
Manasi you are orange.
Oh my goodness these look so good! *Steal* I might try these out one day, although I WILL have to 'disrupt the vegan-ness' by putting in yogurt, because I am not overly fond of apple-tasting cookies. Where does one lay their hands on molasses...and also by white sugar do you mean powdered sugar or regular sugar? I find it makes a difference...
