Start by grabbing your stand mixer or hand mixer. Take a large bowl or the mixing bowl that comes with the stand mixer and combine the vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Mix until mixed well and fluffy, scraping down as needed.

Add your non-dairy milk, molasses, vinegar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg, and mix until well combined. Last, add your flour and mix until combined.

Take a large piece of plastic wrap and place the dough in the plastic wrap, covering it completely and place it in the fridge to chill.

Let it chill for at least 2 hours. This is a sticky dough but work with it; it will be tasty!

You can either roll them into balls and bake them or turn them into gingerbread men.

If you're rolling them out, only work with half the dough at a time and place the other half back in the fridge until you're ready to work with it.

If you want to make them gingerbread men, then get out a Silpat and sprinkle with a decent amount of flour, then place a large piece of plastic wrap on top of the ball you're going to roll. Then take a rolling pin and roll them out to your desired thickness, I like them a little thicker than what I have pictured, but it all depends on what you like. Take a gingerbread man cutter, dip it in flour, and then cut your shape. Depending on how sticky your dough is, you may need to dip the cutter in flour every few cuts. Carefully spatula off your gingerbread men onto a Silpat or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. and bake for 8-10 minutes; they won't look totally done, but they will continue to bake on the cookie sheet, so don't overbake them. Let them rest for 5 minutes before carefully moving them with a spatula on a cooling rack.
