Ingredients

1/2 tbsp ground flax mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup vegan butter
1/4 cup natural cane sugar
2 tbsp blackstrap molasses
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1 & 1/4 cups light spelt flour
1/4 cup diced candied ginger (optional)
2 1/2 tbsp sugar (optional)

Steps

Stir the ground flax with the water and let it stand for 5 minutes.
Heat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil it.
Beat the vegan butter, one-quarter cup sugar, molasses, maple syrup, vanilla, and flax mixture until smooth.
Stir in the ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves, and flour until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the candied ginger, shape the dough into small balls, and roll them in the remaining sugar.
Bake on the baking sheet for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set, then cool for 5 minutes.
