SOFT, SPICY, HEAVENLY GINGER COOKIES
I found the original recipe for these cookies on allrecipes.com, and modified it to be vegan, as well as by changing the spices slightly. They are truly delicious cookies, and very easy to make.

THE SPICIEST GINGERBREAD COOKIES EVER
This gingerbread cookie is super-spicy from the very first bite. Molasses makes it chewy and white sugar rounds out the spices. Cayenne, allspice and a hefty dose of black pepper result in a complex, lingering heat that is surprising and pleasant.

Steps:
- Make the cookies: Whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, salt, baking soda, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes (scrape down the sides of the bowl, as needed). Beat in the molasses until combined, then the egg (the mixture will look curdled). Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in 2 pieces, flatten each half into a disk and wrap each disk in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Position 2 racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Keeping one disk refrigerated, roll the other disk on a well-floured work surface to 1/4 inch thick, sprinkling flour on and under the dough as needed and sliding a spatula underneath every so often to prevent sticking (If the dough looks crackly or breaks apart, press it back together from the outside edge in). Using cookie cutters, cut out gingerbread shapes as close together as possible. Pull away the extra dough around each shape then use a small offset spatula to transfer the shapes to the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart. Reroll the scraps and cut out more cookies. Freeze the cookies until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and from front to back halfway through cooking, until they are slightly firm to the touch but not browned at the edges, about 12 minutes. Repeat the rolling, cutting and baking with the remaining dough disk.
- Cool the cookies for 5 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes (The cookies will continue to firm as they cool).
- Make the icing: Combine the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the frosting thickens, trying not to incorporate too much air. (The icing should be pure white and thick, but not fluffy and bubbly.)
- Scrape the icing into a resealable plastic bag and snip the corner to the desired size. Pipe the icing onto the cookies to decorate, as desired, sticking the candy onto the icing while it is still wet. Let the cookies stand at room temperature until the icing hardens, at least 1 hour.
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION GINGER SPICE COOKIES
These are all that a ginger cookie should be - soft, chewy, crisp, and wonderfully spicy. The crystallized ginger adds depth and complexity -- don't leave it out! Serve these with hot cider on a crisp fall day; with a scoop of lemon ice cream; dunked in cold milk; or alongside sliced apples and cheddar cheese. These are wonderful to include in Christmas packages because they ship very well. Crystallized ginger can usually be found in the bulk food section of natural food stores, or in the jarred spice section of regular grocery stores. I have also seen "baking cut" ginger at Trader Joe's and in the King Arthur Flour catalog, which eliminates the need for chopping. If you get the crystallized ginger in bulk, scoop some extra ginger "crumbs" from the bottom of the bin, and roll the balls of dough in this (instead of the turbinado sugar) before baking. Tips for chopping the (very sticky) ginger: use scissors, or pulse in a food processor for 20 seconds. Be advised that the dough must chill for an hour before shaping into balls, and again for 10 minutes before baking, so give yourself enough time. This recipe is easily doubled (and after you taste them, you'll wish you had). (adapted from Bon Appetit)

SOFT GINGER COOKIES
Unlike the gingersnaps that many people I know make for the holidays, these ginger cookies are soft and chewy. They make the house smell wonderful while they are baking. Posted by someone named Amy Sacha on another website.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven, 350 degrees F.
- Mix flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and 1 cup of the sugar.
- Beat egg into the butter and sugar and then add the water and molasses to that mixture.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ones.
- Shape dough into balls about the size of a walnut.
- Roll the balls in remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
- Place the balls on a parchmant-lined cookie sheet.
- Flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet a bit (about 5 minutes) before you transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- I store these in large zip-lock bags to keep them nice and soft. If it's going to be a while before I eat them, I sometimes add a slice of bread to the bag. I think that helps keep them soft as well.
