An easy way to grind flax seeds is in a coffee grinder

See the "Glossary of Ingredients" for information about making ginger juice

DRY INGREDIENTS

cups brown rice flour (or spelt flour)

(or unrefined coconut oil or walnut oil

or canola oil)

/ cup wholegrain teff flour (or spelt flour)

/ cup sorghum flour (or spelt flour)

tablespoons pumpkin seeds ground

tablespoons poppy seeds ground

/ cup ground flax seed

WET INGREDIENTS

/ cup molasses blackstrap

/ cup brown rice syrup

tablespoons walnut oil refined (or canola oil)

tablespoon vanilla extract

/ cup pecans ground

tablespoons whole sugar (eg Rapadura)

or Sucanat sugar or granulated sugar)

/ teaspoon sea salt

tablespoon ginger juice fresh

(squeezed from fresh grated ginger root)

(

teaspoons baking powder (double acting)

GARNISH

tablespoons pecans (pieces or halves)

tablespoons vegetable shortening nonhydrogenated

Preheat oven to degrees F ( degrees C)

Put parchment paper down on a baking sheet (if you don't have parchment paper you can oil your baking sheet)

Cookies can even stick a little to a nonstick baking sheet which messes up the cookies so I greatly prefer

parchment paper because it always makes for very easy removal

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl Cut shortening (or oil) into flour mixture (using a fork and a knife)

Blend wet ingredients in a separate bowl

Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and mix together It may seem a bit dry at first but once you get all the

ingredients integrated it will form a slightly sticky shapable dough (If other flours besides those being called for

are used additional flour may be needed to create a stiff enough dough The dough is too wet if you can not

form cookies with your hands)

Form balls of dough and place on the cookie sheet (or sheets) They may be a bit crumbly but should bake

together nicely Garnish cookies by pressing the pecans into the tops of the cookies

Bake for about minutes To prevent the bottoms of the cookies from burning you may like to place an extra

cookie sheet near the bottom of the oven to protect the main cookie sheet from the oven heating element When

the cookies are finished they will brown just slightly on the bottom When removing the cookies sheets from the

oven place them on a heat resistant cooling rack (or other elevated surface) so that air can circulate underneath

the sheet
