Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 161kcal
Ingredients
- 2 flax “eggs” recipe below
- 6 tablespoons warm nut milk of choice we use a cashew/almond blend
- 2 tablespoons flax meal ground flax seeds
- 1 cup soft/liquid coconut oil I would plan to use 1 cup and then take about 2 tablespoons back out.
- 2 tbsp of milk again the cashew/almond blend
- 1.5 cups packed brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups unbleached gluten free flour
- ¾ teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mixed mini and chunk dairy free chocolate bits
Instructions
- Start by mixing your flax meal and warm nut milk. Allow to rest and thicken for 5 to 10 minutes while you get everything else together.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Using an electric mixer, add the soft/liquid coconut oil, sugars, vanilla, additional 2 tablespoons of nut milk, salt and flax eggs and mix on medium speed until smooth.
- Slowly add in the flour, baking soda and baking powder until thick and even. The batter might seem a little crumbly, this is perfectly alright. If you are concerned, you could add a pinch more nut milk at a time until it seems right.
- Mix in the dairy free chocolate bits.
- Cover baking sheets with parchment paper (not wax paper) and evenly space balls of the batter.
- Bake for pretty much exactly 9 minutes, after the first tray you’ll know if you need a little more or less time based off of your oven. But overall, 9 minutes seems to be the magic number, the cookies will likely still look a bit under done-this is the path to the perfectly chewy cookies inside with a slight crisp edge.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a clean, cool counter.
- These freeze beautifully and have stayed fresh quite nicely at room temp for about 5 days.
