Instructions
- Preheat the over at 150°C and set some baking sheets to the side, covered in parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, prepare the 2 flax eggs and set them aside.
- In a big bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, then once the flax eggs are ready, add them in.
- Mix everything well so that all the ingredients are combined and set aside.
- In a small bowl, add the icing sugar. You won't need to sift it.
- Roll the dough in balls and then roll each ball in the icing sugar so that it's all coated.
- Place on the baking sheet and press down with 3 fingers so that they are flattened.
- Bake for 10 minutes and repeat until all the dough is completed.
Notes
*flax eggs: the ground flaxseed to water ratio for each egg is 1:3, so for this recipe, it will be 2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 6 tablespoons of water. Mix well and set aside for 10-20 minutes, then use.
These cookies will last for 3-5 days in a tin.
