💭Recipe Tips
- Prepare your flax seed when you're ready to work with the wet ingredients
- Sift and mix dry ingredients separately to the wet ingredients
- The ginger cookie dough is wet and sticky - to help shape these into balls when placing onto a flat baking tray, wet your hands with a tiny bit of water
- To flatten each ginger cookie dough ball, use a wet fork for each depression
- Place each vegan cookie at least 5 cm apart to avoid them baking into each other
- Once baked, allow these amazing vegan ginger cookies to cool on a wire rack - as they cool down the edges will harden and the middle insides will stay moist
⏲️Cooking Time
Bake in the middle of the oven for approximately 13-15 minutes on 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
