We took these cookies to the next level by sandwiching a slab of non-dairy ice cream in the middle. Share these healthy ice cream sandwiches with the family on a hot summer day, totally guilt-free!

Looks good, but it unfortunately won’t do for Pesach. I follow the Sephardic tradition which rules that baking soda is leavening. Leavening is leavening, no matter what type it is chemical or natural in the Sephardic world. So, in Judaism you have both Sephardic and Ashkenazi tradition. This is an Ashkenazi tradition. I do however enjoy Jamie’s recipes and she is one creative cook.
How much water with the 1 tablespoon of flaxseeds?
3 tablespoons water with 1 tablespoon flax seed to replace 1 egg
I don’t want to take away the thunder from one of Jaime’s sponsors but you if you know how to use a stick blender or food processor, you can make your
own almond flour. Simply add blanched almonds to a blender and blitz until a fine, powdery flour is achieved. Not only is it simple to make, but homemade almond flour tastes fresher and is usually more cost-effective than store bought.
Is flaxseed meal kosher for Passover?
There are different opinions on whether flaxseeds are considered kitniyot, if you do consider them kitniyot you can try leaving them out, or if you feel you need something to help bind the cookies and you don’t use eggs you can try mashed banana.

Flax seed is considered kitniyot. Chia is ok
If you are making “your own” flax meal the answer is they are NOT KITNIYOT. The whole noise with flax seeds being chametz or kitniyot is because in times of old the flour miller took care of everything from the unprocessed wheat and other grains to the finished product. Since all the seeds and grains were stored in the mill all too many times e.g. rice would be found with grains of millet or even wheat. Today, if you are buying from a reputable spice house, or if they have been prepackaged, it still behooves you to check the grains to assure yourself that nothing had mistakenly been dropped into your mixture. Sephardim whose custom it is to eat rice on Pesach, check the rice 3 times to make sure there are no other grains in the rice.
