Macadamia Ginger Crunch Drops

Man these were sooo good!
Taken from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowicz.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour (I used whole wheat and it worked well)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sald
1/4 tsp nutmeg
2/3 c canola oil
2/3 c sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
1/3 c soy milk
1 tbs ground flax seed
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp coconut extract (if you don't have it use more vanilla)
1 1/3 c chopped macadamia nuts (I smashed mine, and lots were in big pieces)
1/2 c chopped candied ginger

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a large bowl beat together oil, sugar, brown sugar, milk, flax seeds and extracts. Fold in dry mixture and combine just to moisten. Fold in macadamia nuts and ginger.
The recipe calls for 1 tablespoon drops of cookies on the sheet 2 inches apart, but I doubled that. Bake for 14 minutes until edges start to brown. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to wire cooling rack. My way made 15 cookies. I think next time I might add just a handful of carob chips, although that might overwhelm the ginger. Maybe a chocolate or carob drizzle on the top would do. Mmm the possibilities!
