Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp hot water
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cashew butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar (vegan if necessary)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl or cup, combine the ground flaxseed and hot water. Let sit for a few minutes until the mixture thickens.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cashew butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and flax mixture.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until well combined.
  6. Use a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to portion the dough onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Use a fork or your palm to slightly flatten each cookie.

  7. Bake at 350°F for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are a very light golden brown and they no longer look moist on top. (Avoid overbaking). Let cool on the pan, then enjoy!
