Take Delicious Vegan Ginger Cookies Out of the Oven after 10 Minutes, Not When They Test Done

Take Delicious Vegan Ginger Cookies Out of the Oven after 10 Minutes, Not When They Test Done.  That's what I did yesterday because I had a dental appointment (Part 1 of The Crown) and had to take them out and turn off the oven befpre I left.

Today I was listening on Audible books to Paul Beatty's The Sellout, so I was in no hurry.  In fact, I welcomed the opportunity to iron the 9 red cotton napkins I used for the Chew and View group on the Feast of Kings January 6.

But that was unfortunate because I like cookies soft, and these--which I kept putting back into the oven--would probably do damage to Part 1 of The Crown.

So remember this:  Cookies continue to bake if you leave them on the cookie sheet after taking them out of the oven.  So take them out even if they don't test done.  They soon will be.

Vegan Ginger Cookies

   Prep Time: 10 mins

·         Yield: 1 batch
ABOUT THIS RECIPE
"These cookies are the ultimate ginger cookies with a nice spicy bite from the ginger and a rich molasses body. That they happen to be vegan is just a bonus. From Vegan with a Vengence!"
INGREDIENTS
o    4 tablespoons coarse sugar ( turbinado or demerrera or "sanding" sugar)  (This is to be used at the end, not mixed with wet or dry ingredients.)
o    2 cups flour
o    1 teaspoon baking soda
o    1/4 teaspoon salt
o    2 1/2 tablespoons ground ginger
o    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
o    1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
o    1/2 cup canola oil
o    1/4 cup molasses
o    1/4 cup soymilk
o    1 cup sugar
o    1 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS
1.    Sift dry ingredient (except 1 cup of sugar) into a bowl and set aside.
2.    In a large bowl combine wet ingredients, including sugar and whisk or beat on medium until blended.
3.    Stir in the pre-sifted dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
4.    The dough will be quite sticky and you may need to dampen your hands to work with it. Roll the dough into little balls (about 1 Tablespoon) and flatten out to your liking.
5.    The thinner the cookie the crisper it will be - a slightly thicker cookie will yield a crunch on the edges and a slightly chewy interior.

6.       Press the coarse sugar onto the tops of the cookies and bake about 10 minutes at 350 on a greased cookie sheet.
