Indulge your spicy cookie desires without the tempting leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Flax Meal
- 3 teaspoons Water
- 2 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
- 5 teaspoons Olive Oil
- 4 teaspoons Molasses (a Dark Molasses Like Blackstrap Tastes Best)
- ½ cups Whole Wheat Flour
- ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
- ⅛ teaspoons Fine Grain Sea Salt
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Ginger
Preparation
Mix together flax meal and water in a small bowl, stir well and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
Preheat toaster oven to 35ºF and lightly grease cookie sheet or line with a silicone mat.
In a small bowl, stir sugar, oil and molasses. Add flax mixture, whisking until everything is thick and well-combined. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape dough into two balls. Place on prepared cookie sheet and gently flatten cookies with your hand. Leave at least 2 inches between cookies; the dough will spread during baking.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the tops have cracked and the edges are set. Allow cookies to cool completely on sheet before removing.
