• 2 cups wheat flour or 2 cups buckwheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (prefer sea salt)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
• 1/2 teaspoon clove

• 1/4 cup molasses

1. *Mix the 2 tablespoons of milled flax with 1/4 cup boiling water and allow to sit for 10 minutes. This will be referred to as Flax Goo later in directions.
2. Directions:
3. Preheat oven to 350.
4. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. In another bowl cream until soft: coconut oil and 1 cup of vegan sugar, add the ginger. Add to the wet mix: Flax Goo and molasses till blended, then add ~a little at a time~ the dry ingredients to the wet mix. Let the mix sit on the counter for about 5-10 minutes to let the flavors mix.
5. Form into 1 inch balls, dip just the top into turbinado sugar, then place on oiled cookie sheet, sugared side up. Place a few inches apart on sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool for just a few minuntes on the sheet before transfering them to a cooling rack. Don't over cook or they will be hard when they cool.
