Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flax meal ground flax seeds
- 6 tbsp warm water
- 1 1/2 cups 300 g vegan margarine (I used vegan Becel)
- 1 1/4 cups 250 g white sugar
- 1/2 cup blackstrap molasses I find the Wholesome Organic ones are the tastiest
- 4 1/2 cups 550 g all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cloves
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup coarse sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Combine the ground flax seed and warm water in a small bowl and set aside to gel, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the margarine and white sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add the flax seed mixture (the flax "egg") and molasses and mix into the creamed butter until incorporated.
- Sift in flour, baking soda, spices, salt and then mix until incorporated. Roll into 1 1/2 tbsp balls and roll into the coarse sugar to coat.
- Bake on a lined baking sheet for 9-11 minutes, (9 min if you have a hot oven, 11/12 minutes if you have a cooler oven). The cookies will "crack" but should still be soft in the centre after 9 minutes. Underbake to keep the cookies soft.
