Vegan Gingerbread Cookies

I think I might actually prefer this recipe found in "La Dolce Vegan!" - Sarah Kramer's third vegan cookbook, to traditional gingerbread. Instead of margarine this recipe calls for vegetable shortening and a perfect array of spices.

What's neat about "La Dolce Vegan!" is that most of the recipes are submitted from people all over the world who have tried, tested and true methods for cooking vegan. Sarah Kramer is from Victoria, BC and her vegan cookbooks can be found at most bookstores and libraries or you can follow her website/blog at www.GoVegan.net.
