Combine ground flax seeds, quick cooking rolled oats, super fine almond flour, lime zest, coconut flakes, cinnamon, and ginger powder in a bowl and stir.

In another bowl, mix cashew butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and coconut sugar until smooth.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture and stir with a spatula until fully incorporated.

Scoop about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hand and gently form it into a ball.

Place the cookie ball on a lined baking sheet and press it down halfway.

Space the cookies about an inch to an inch and a half apart on the baking sheet.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for about 12 to 15 minutes, checking around 12 minutes for doneness.

Remove cookies from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lime zest and extra coconut flakes.

Let the cookies cool slightly before serving.
