Tips:
- For an extra spicy flavor, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger to the dough.
- To make the flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
- If you don't have cookie cutters, you can use a knife or a glass to cut out the cookie shapes.
- To decorate the cookies, you can use vegan frosting, sprinkles, or candy.
