Vegan Flax Maple Cookies-Delicious and so simple!

These simple but tasty treats are courtesy of Jae Steele's vegan cook book Get It Ripe. If you don't have it, I highly recommend it:) It's filled with loads of amazing vegan recipes that not only taste gourmet but look impressive to serve!

It's a staple in my home and truth be told that even my boyfriend (who is a meat eater) can't get enough of Jae's recipes, especially these Flax Maple cookies!

Best Part: These cookies are free of wheat and refined sugar!

Makes 16-20 cookies

Flax Maple Cookies

2 cups of spelt flour (you could use other flours too)

1/3 cup flax seeds

1-1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup of maple syrup (not the fake stuff!)

1/2 cup sunflower oil

Preheat the oven to 350 oF. In a large bowl, combine flour, flax seeds, cinnamon and salt. Pour in syrup and oil and mix until all the flour's been absorbed.

Allow the dough to sit for 5-10 minutes before rolling into walnut sized balls (or slightly larger) and place them on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.

Press down on each ball gently with your index and middle finger-they'll flatten and you'll make a nice wavy impression in the cookie.

Slide in the oven and bake for 12-13 min. Allow to cool on a rack or eat them warm:)

Enjoy:)
