Ingredients

  • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoon ground flax seed + ½ cup water) this mixture should be nice and thick when adding
  • ½ cup vegan butter (1 stick)
  • cup sugar organic
  • cup brown sugar organic
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • rolled in: mixture of sparkly sugar and cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease with vegan butter.
  • Prepare your flax eggs by whisking ground flax seed with water. Let those sit for at least five minutes to firm up a bit.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add: flax eggs, vegan butter, sugar and brown sugar and lemon juice. Beat to combine.
  • Slowly beat in the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Beat until fluffy dough forms.
  • Place the dough in the fridge for one hour.
  • Roll the dough into balls, then dip the balls into a mixture of cinnamon and sparkly sugar. Place on the baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 9-12 minutes. Ten minutes is usually the sweet spot for me. Cool cookies on a baking rack. You do not want to over-bake them if you want a tender, fluffy texture.
