• In a mixing bowl, beat vegan butter and brown sugar together.
  ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup vegan butter
• Add molasses, vanilla, and flax egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until combined.
  ⅓ cup unsulphured molasses, 1 flax egg, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix into a thick dough. (The dough will look a bit crumbly, there’s no need to over work it, once you roll it in the following steps it will come together).
• Flour your hands and surface generously. Transfer dough onto the surface and roll out to about ¼ inch thick - if you have loose pieces just press them together.
• Cut out gingerbread men with a floured cookie cutter and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.
• Gather dough scraps, roll out again, and cut more cookies. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Bake in the air fryer at 160ºC (320°F) for 8 minutes. Let cookies cool completely before decorating.

To Decorate:

• Mix frosting ingredients until thick and sticky.
  1 cup powdered sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoons soy milk
• Dip the gingerbread men in the frosting and decorate with Christmas sprinkles.
