Ingredients
Cookies;
1 tbsp Chia Seeds
3 tbsp Warm Water
½ Cup Butter - We use Pure, but any plant based butter will work.
½ Cup Caster Sugar
½ Cup Molasses - This is just brown sugar, you can buy it from the supermarket.
1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 ⅓ Cup Plain Flour
1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
1 ¼ tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 ¼ tsp Ground Ginger
¼ tsp Salt (optional)
Icing;
1 Cup Icing Sugar
1-2 tsp Water
½ - 1 tsp Vanilla
You want your icing sugar to be thick so it doesn't just roll straight off the cookie, so don't be alarmed by the thickness.
Method
* In a small bowl, mix the water and chia seeds to make a flax egg.
* In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar & molasses.
* Mix in the vinegar, vanilla and flax egg.
* Sift in the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt if using.
* Wrap the dough in cling film.
* Chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
* Preheat the oven 180C
* Divide the dough in half.
* Roll the dough to roughly ¼ " thick.
* Bake for 10-15 minutes
* Let cool completely before icing
Icing;
* Sift the icing sugar into a medium bowl.
* Add the water a little at a time, until it is almost the right consistency.
* Add the vanilla essence.
* Decorate your biscuits
Serve
Enjoy!
