Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

• 2 cups organic whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup organic vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup organic sugar
• 1/4 cup organic molasses
• 1/4 cup organic soy milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon organic baking soda

Step 2: Get Gooey!

In a medium bowl whisk together the oil, sugar, molasses, and soy milk.

Step 3: Mix It In!

Combine all of the dry ingredients in another medium bowl, then add it to the gooey mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4: Let It Chill!

Roll the dough into a large ball, then flatten it. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 5: Roll It Out!

Preheat the oven to 350° and lightly grease your cookie sheets. Roll the dough out on a parchment and floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness. (The parchment is very important or the dough will stick to your counter-top).

Step 6: Cookie Cut It Up!

Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out your gingerbread men.

Step 7: Bake Them!

Bake the gingerbread men for 8 minutes. If you are going to use the cookies as a decoration, punch a hole in the top before cooking with the end of a straw.

Step 8: Let Them Cool, Decorate and Gobble Them Up!

Remove the cookies from the oven, place on a cooling rack and let them cool. Then decorate as you desire! We used a vegan icing made from 4 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup water and a 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
