Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix 1 teaspoon of ground flaxseed with a tablespoon of water. Set aside.
  3. In bowl of a mixer, add first 5 ingredients, and blend until well combined.
  4. Next, add flour, almond meal, remaining ground flaxseed, spices, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add ground flaxseed and water mixture, which should already appear a bit thick or gelatinous.
  6. Mix altogether until well incorporated. You should have a thick sticky dough.
  7. Add egg and mix until blended.
  8. Add cooked quinoa, and mix briefly until dough is uniform.
  9. Drop by spoonful on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. These cookies spread out thin and flat but are soft and chewy, so leave room between spoonfuls.
  10. Bake for 15 minutes, or longer if you like crispy edges.
