These chewy vegan ginger crinkle cookies taste rich, even without butter, eggs, or molasses. Instead, prune puree binds together the ingredients and adds sweetness with less sugar overall.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the Dried Plum Purée, oil, and sugar. Mix in the water. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients gradually, mixing well. Refrigerate the dough for at least 20 minutes but preferably 24 hours or up to 5 days.
Preheat a convection oven to 325F (165C) or a non-convection oven to 350F (180C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Portion the dough into generous 1 oz (31 g) pieces and roll into balls. Press the balls to flatten, then dip the tops in the coarse sugar. Place on the baking sheet sugar-side up, spacing the cookies apart so there is room to spread.
Bake until the tops are crinkled and edges are set, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
