How to Make Macadamia Ginger Crunch Drops

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup vegetable oil, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup unsweetened nondairy milk (e.g., almond, soy), 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flax egg), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon coconut extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts and ½ cup finely chopped candied ginger.
  7. Drop by generous tablespoons (about 2 inches apart) onto the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
