Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup softened vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp ground flax seeds+2.5 tbsp water mixed and chilled for 10 min in the freezer)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tbsp white sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Then add in the flax egg, water, and molasses.
-
Add in the dry ingredients and mix together until well combined.
-
On a pan lined with parchment paper, shape dough into one inch balls or use a cookie scoop to maintain consistency. Then lightly roll in the tablespoon of white sugar (I only dipped one side) and space equally on the pan.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies with the parchment paper to a cooling rack.
-
Once cooled, eat and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container
