- 1 flax egg (or one Ener-G Egg Replacer Egg)

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a baking try with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the vegan butter, brown and white sugars, flax egg (or alternative egg replacer), and vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, salt, and spices (pumpkin pie, ground cardamom, ground nutmeg, cinnamon, cayenne) and thoroughly mix.
- Slowly add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients.
- Rapidly stir together until the mixture is well combined, and there are no clumps or dry areas.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, crystalized ginger and pepitas.
- Roll golf-ball sized dough balls in your hands.
