Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare flax egg: Mix non-dairy milk and ground flaxseed in a small bowl to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, coat in granulated sugar, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 9–11 minutes.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For flavored variations, try adding lemon zest, almond extract, or cinnamon to the dough.
- These cookies freeze well and stay soft for days when stored in an airtight container.
