Hi Laura,
Thanks so much for your feedback! You're right, the dough can be crumbly when cold but with some working in the hands it comes together. I'm glad they worked out well for you!

Yes, it is available at most large grocery stores including Walmart and Target.

Is the Grandma’s dark molasses available in any chain grocery store?

Thanks for your question - I use unsulphured or dark molasses (I use Grandma's brand). I will update the recipe!

Hi Diana! I haven't tested these without flaxseed meal but if you can have chia seeds, you could try a "chia egg" by mixing 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 2 1/2 tablespoons of warm water. If you can have eggs, you could just use one whole egg. Another idea if you can't have eggs or chia seeds is to try one of the powder egg replacers . I hope that helps!

Hi there!
Thanks for sharing that feedback. I'm glad that the recipe worked well for you with the Bob's Red Mill gluten free flour. If you're willing to rate the recipe, I would really appreciate that! Merry Christmas!

Hi Christy,
I don't have specific brand recommendations for either of these ingredients. Neither of them would contain peanuts/tree nuts but I assume you're asking about cross-contact for those allergens (which is always a good idea to check!) I can tell you that I recently used Baker's Corner brand molasses from Aldi and that was safe (no advisory statements), however, these things can differ depending on your region. I also checked Brer Rabbit brand which also appears to be safe. As far as ginger goes, I tend to buy McCormick spices because I think they have a good allergen program in place. I hope that helps! Enjoy the cookies! 🙂

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear these aren't working out! Sometimes the type of flour you are using can cause the dough to be dryer. Or, it might be that the flax "egg" sat for too long and incorporated less liquid into the dough. I would suggest adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the dough comes together. I hope that helps!

Good! Now time to decorate? Enjoy! 🙂

Yes it helped a lot. Thank you.

The dough should be wet enough to stick together in ball. Adding a little water is ok but not too much or it will be sticky.
Hope that helps!
