Chewy Double Ginger Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegan butter
- 3/4 cup unrefined cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds, mixed with 3-4 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1 tbsp ginger powder
- 1 tbsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup crystallized ginger chunks, roughly chopped into bite-size pieces
- additional sugar for coating
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add the chia mixture and molasses and mix just until smooth
In another bowl, combine the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt
Add this dry mixture to your wet mixture in the large bowl until you have a dough
Roll balls into 1 1/2 inch balls
Roll each ball in sugar, and place on baking sheets lined with parchment paper
Bake for about 15 minutes, checking on them to make sure they don’t overbake
You want them to widen out and flatten, and develop those beautiful cracks on top towards the end of the baking time
Let the baking sheets cool on wire racks, then enjoy the cookies!
