Notes

1)In vegan baking, you can often substitute an egg with a flax "egg": You mix 1 tbsp ground flax with 3 tbsp warm water. Let stand for about 5-10 minutes, until it gels. This equals 1 egg.
2) These lose their crispiness overnight. They are still good when they are softer. However, if you heat them up in a 300'F oven for 5-10 minutes and let them cool, the crispiness will be restored.
