Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon ground
- 1/2 tsp Ginger ground
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and baking powder. Whisk well to ensure even distribution.
- Add the cold, unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This creates a flaky texture in the final cookies.
- Add the flaxseeds, powdered sugar, and chopped cashews to the bowl. Mix until just combined.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the chilled dough into equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it slightly with your palm on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- These cookies can be kept for more than two weeks.
- For extra crunch and visual appeal, sprinkle whole flaxseeds or a mix of sesame and flaxseeds on top of the cookies before baking.
- If you prefer a more pronounced spice profile, add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or cardamom powder to complement the cinnamon and ginger.
- To make these cookies eggless yet richer, consider adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk or plant-based milk; this also helps achieve a more tender crumb.
Expert Tips
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking for optimal texture and to prevent spreading.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizing and baking time.
- Don't overbake; the cookies should be lightly golden around the edges.
Storage Instructions
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container with a slice of apple or bread to maintain their softness.
