Vegan Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s that time of year! Christmas cookies galore! My email and news feed have been pretty much inundated with dozens of mouth-watering cookie recipes. Although they look AMAZING in pictures, in reality, I’m a simple-cookie type of gal. Give me a standard chewy chocolate chip cookie and I’m good to go. But in the spirit of the holiday season, I decided to add some gingerbread flare to the mix. These came out sooo good and took me less than 30 minutes to make! What's your favorite holiday cookie?!

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.

2. Combine all dry ingredients except for the chocolate chips into a large bowl. Mix so everything is evenly distributed.
