Easy Vegan Spice Thins (No Chill Time)

These cookies I came up with myself yesterday when wanting to have some cookies to go with our tea. :) They are quick and easy to make, relatively healthy and to me taste delish. I hope youll enjoy them, too! If you like spicy, feel free to use more ginger, cloves, nutmeg, pepper and cinnamon.

• Ready In: 37 mins
• Yields: 20 cookies

Ingredients

• 2⁄3 cup flour, might need about 3 tbs more for kneading
• 1⁄3 cup whole wheat flour (I used whole spelt)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 3⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1⁄16 teaspoon black pepper (I used freshly ground)
• 1  pinch salt
• 1⁄8 cup  oil
• 1  tablespoon honey or 1  tablespoon  agave syrup
• 1⁄4 cup  non-dairy milk (a bit less, use enough milk to fill cup up to 1/3 cup)
• 1⁄2 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1⁄2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. In a big bow combine, flours, baking powder, salt and spices.
2. In another bowl combine oil, honey or agave syrup and enough milk to make 1/3 cup. Then add sugars and vanilla bean paste or extract. Stir to combine.
3. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and knead into a smooth, soft dough. If it's too sticky, add a tbs of flour at a time until you can handle the dough well.
4. Roll out thinly (to about 2 mm/0.07 inch) and cut out desired shapes. I used a cookie cutter of about 6 cm/2.5 inches in diameter.
5. Place cookies on a paper-lined or greased baking sheet and bake in the pre heated oven at 180°C/350°F for 10-12 minutes or until browned around the edges.
6. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Enjoy!
