eggless gingerbread cookies recipe, whole wheat gingerbread cookies
gingerbread cake and gingerbread cookies or gingerbread men cookies are popular in the west during this season. every year around this time, i do make ginger bread cake and fruit cake. ginger being a warming spice, is good to be included in the food in winters. we also add ginger in our everyday tea.
ginger bread cakes or cookies are usually made with molasses. in this recipe i have used kakvi instead of molasses. kakvi is a molasses like thick syrup made from sugar cane juice. its a syrup which is made while preparing jaggery. the sweetness in kakvi is comparable to that of honey. kakvi is available in some parts of maharashtra, india.
kakvi syrup
quoted from wikipedia:
molasses (काकवी), a byproduct of the production of jaggery, is used in rural maharashtra and karnataka as a sweetener. it contains many minerals not found in ordinary sugar and is considered beneficial to health in traditional ayurvedic medicine. it is an ingredient of many sweet delicacies, such as gur ka chawal (“jaggery rice”), a traditional rajasthani or punjabi dish.
these gingerbread cookies are sweet with a soft, firm texture. the aromatic ginger, cinnamon and cloves infuse a great deal of flavor in the cookies. the home smells so good when baking these cookies. the recipe has been loosely adapted from a long lost baking book i have.
eggless gingerbread cookies
you can even make these gingerbread cookies with molasses. i would not suggest honey as honey when heated becomes toxic according to ayurveda. even jaggery can be used. i have mentioned the jaggery proportions in the recipe card & step wise pics below.

eggless gingerbread cookies recipe - spiced, soft and firm cookies made with whole wheat flour, ginger powder, spices and kakvi (a molasses like syrup made from sugar cane juice). can also be made with molasses or jaggery.
recipe type: dessert
cuisine: world
serves: 500 grams
ingredients (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)
½ cup molasses or kakvi or ½ cup jaggery dissolved in 3 to 4 tbsp hot water
½ cup softened butter (salted or unsalted) or 100 grams
2 cups whole wheat flour/atta, 240 grams + 2 to 3 tbsp if required
½ tsp baking soda
2 tsp ginger powder/saunth powder
¼ tsp cinnamon powder/dalchini powder
¼ tsp clove powder/lavang powder
¼ tsp nutmeg powder/jaiphal powder
a pinch of salt, skip if using salted butter
¼ cup hot water
how to make the recipe:
first grease the baking tray with some butter and keep aside.
now take ½ cup softened butter (100 grams) in a mixing bowl.
add ½ cup of molasses or kakvi. if using jaggery, then add ½ cup powdered jagggery in 3 to 4 tbsp hot water. mix well till the jaggery melts. if impurities are there, then filter the jaggery syrup. then add it to the butter.
begin to mix and beat this mixture.
i have used wired whisk to mix the butter with the kakvi. you can also use an electric beater.
mix and lightly beat this mixture. keep aside.
in a separate bowl or plate, sift 2 cups whole wheat flour, ½ tsp baking soda, 2 tsp ginger powder, ¼ tsp cinnamon powder, ¼ tsp clove powder and ¼ tsp nutmeg powder.
now add the entire sifted dry ingredients to the lightly beaten butter+molasses mixture.
gently and lightly fold or mix.
then add ¼ cup hot water. mix everything together and gather to form a dough. do not knead. just gently mix or fold.
if the mixture is loose or sticky, then add 2 to 3 tbsp more of the flour. cover and place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes.
if the mixture looks dry and crumbly, then add 1 to 3 tbsp of hot water and mix again.
later, remove and pinch small balls from the cookie dough. gently press and flatten them. place the cookies with an inch space between them on the baking tray. preheat oven 15 minutes before you begin to bake the cookies.
sprinkle some sugar granules on the cookies. lightly press the sugar granules on the cookies. you can also use brown sugar. for one batch, i used cane sugar and for the second one, i used brown sugar.
bake at 180 degrees celsius for 20 to 25 minutes or till the cookies appear light golden. do not over bake the cookies. i baked in two batches.
after one minute, remove them on a wired tray and let them cool.
once cooled at room temperature, store gingerbread cookies in an airtight jar. the recipe yields about 500 grams of cookies.
serve eggless gingerbread cookies as a dessert or tea time snack.
notes
- you can skip cinnamon, clove and nutmeg powder if you want.
- instead of ginger powder, you can also add 3 tsp fresh ginger paste or minced/grated ginger.
enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!
