Ingredients:

- 3/4 c flour (I used whole wheat pastry)

- 1/4 c cocoa

- 1/2 t salt

- 1/2 t baking soda

- 1-2 t ground cardamom (2 makes it come through pretty hardcore)

- 1/2 c brown sugar

- 3 T olive oil (use the good stuff)

- 1 T ground flaxseed or whole chia seeds soaked in 1/4 c warm water for a minute or two

- 2 T molasses

- orange zest (dried is fine) and sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions:

- Stir together the first 6 ingredients. Add the next 3 ingredients and stir just until combined.

- Cover a baking sheet with parchment and spoon out 12 drops of dough onto it. Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt and orange zest.

- Bake at 350 F for about 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the sheet for 5 or 10 minutes.

Enjoy,
