Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cream together the vegan butter and organic sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the orange zest and cardamom, mixing until well combined.
  3. Incorporate fresh orange juice and ground flaxseed, blending smoothly.
  4. Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic or cover with a cloth, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. Portion out the dough with a cookie scoop, rolling each portion into a ball and rolling in sugar.
  9. Bake for 11-14 minutes, until lightly browned on the edges but soft in the center.
  10. After baking, let the cookies cool, then mix powdered sugar with extra orange juice for the glaze and drizzle over cookies.
