Ginger Snap, Chia Jammy Dodger Cookies

The Balanced Kitchen
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp blackstrap molasses
  • 1/2 cup rapseed oil
  • 4 tbsp plant based milk
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 2 tbsp ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
  • Place the coconut sugar, molasses, rapeseed oil and milk in a bowl and mix together.
  • Add the flour, spices, baking powder and salt to the same bowl and fold the ingredients together until you form a dough.
  • Use your clean hands to form a large ball in the bowl.
  • Take a tbsp of the mixture, form a small ball then lay the ball on the baking sheet and flatten into a cookie using either the back of a spoon or the bottom of a clean glass.  If you place a small piece of baking paper between the cookie and the spoon/glass, this will help to prevent sticking.
  • Continue until you have used up all of the cookie dough.  
  • Count up your cookies and half the amount.  In one half, use a star cutter to cut out the middle.  This half will be the top layer of your cookies.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 mins - checking they do not overcook and burn.
  • Remove from the oven.
  • Place a tbsp of chia jam on each whole cookie (the bottom layer ones without the star cut-out).  And place a star cut out cookie on top.
  • Continue until you have used up all the cookies.
  • Place on a baking tray to set and cool.
  • Serve immediately or store (once completely cooled otherwise they will become soggy) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
