Description
Perfect cookies for the holidays or a lunchbox. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside – you can’t eat just one. 🙂

Units
Scale
- 2/3 cup salad oil (Sunflower, safflower, corn etc)

- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Notes
- Chia “eggs”: 1 T ground chia seeds to 3 T water. Mix well. You can use it immediately but I find it works best if you allow it to sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- You can use flax “eggs” but I find that chia works better for this recipe.
