Preparation
Gingerbread cookies
In a medium bowl, mix together all the wet ingredients.
Stir in dry ingredients.
Roll the dough into your desired gingerbread shape.
If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Pour the cookies into a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake at 350F for 12 minutes.
Let it cool on the sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to let it cool the rest of the way.
Vegan icing
Melt the butters in a double boiler pan and add the sugar.
Beat with a fork or hand mixer to make the icing a bit thicker and fluffy.
If is too thin, put it in the freezer just for a few minutes and then beat again.
When it starts to harden, put it back in the double boiler just enough to soften it up again.
Decoration
For the colors, mix the icing with natural coloring food.
Have fun in the decoration!
