- Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of hot water. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Combine the dry ingredients: 2 cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 0.25 tsp salt, 2 tsp ground ginger, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
- Beat together 0.25 cup vegan butter and 0.5 cup coconut sugar until smooth, then add molasses and the prepared flax egg.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a slightly sticky dough forms.
- Chill the dough for at least 1 hour wrapped in foil or plastic wrap.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chilled dough to about 0.2-inch thickness on a floured surface.
- Cut shapes from the rolled dough using festive cookie cutters and transfer to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
