ingredients
- 2 1/3 cup all-purpose floud
- 2 teaspon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon flax meal
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon turbinado sugar (or other coarse sugar) (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (176 degrees C). Lightly oil a large baking sheet.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves. Mix well. Set aside.
Step 3
In a second medium bowl, whisk together sugar, pumpkin, oil, molasses, flax meal, and vanilla until smooth and uniform.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until just combined.
Step 5
The dough will probably be a bit sticky. If so, wet your hands with water to prevent sticking and roll heaping tablespoons of dough into balls. Place on a baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches of space between each. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Step 6
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until cookies are set but not hard.
Step 7
Remove from the oven. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 or 6 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
