Round dough into a ball, and wrap with plastic wrap. Place the dough into the fridge and chill
for 30 minutes.
5 Roll out the gingerbread dough: When the dough is chilled, lightly flour a clean surface
and rolling pin, and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick (it doesn’t have to be
exact!). Choose your cookie cutters, lightly flour the side that is going to be cutting into the
dough, and press the cookie cutter into the dough. Repeat for the remaining dough, rolling out
the dough with the extra scraps until all of the dough is gone.
6 Bake: Place the gingerbread men cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
(you can use a spatula if it’s hard to pick them up!) and place the cookies back into the fridge
to chill while the oven preheats to 350F. When the oven is preheated, baked the cookies for
12-14 minutes or until slightly puffy and slightly tough to touch (they shouldn’t be soft).
7 Cool + decorate: Let the cookies cool for 15 minutes before icing. Make the vegan royal
icing according to the post instructions.
8 Enjoy! Spoon icing into an icing bag with tip, and pipe a design onto each cookie. Let set for
10 minutes. Enjoy!
