How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get to the fun part—making these cookies!

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the maple syrup and stir until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re using walnuts or raisins, fold them in now.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your cookies turn out perfectly:

Make sure your coconut oil is melted but not too hot, as it can cook the sugar.
For a chewier cookie, slightly underbake them; they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
Feel free to experiment with spices! A pinch of nutmeg or cloves can add a delightful twist.
If you want to make these cookies even more indulgent, consider drizzling them with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and almond milk.

How to Serve

These cookies are perfect on their own, but why not elevate your dessert experience? Here are some serving suggestions:

Pair them with a warm cup of herbal tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
Serve them alongside a scoop of vegan ice cream for a delightful dessert.
Crush them over a bowl of creamy garlic pasta for a unique flavor combination!

Make Ahead and Storage

These cookies are great for meal prep! Here’s how to store them:

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a freezer bag. They can last up to three months!
To enjoy them warm, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds after thawing.
