Sometimes I think about how much I love being an adult. Cookies are one of the things that remind me how awesome it can be to be “grown up”. When I was super little, cookies were these magical delicacies that I would scheme over. I was always wondering, how do I get more of these? As an adult I can buy them or make them whenever I want! It’s magical and I love it! For adults and children alike, if you can eat gluten we bet you will love these.
Makes: 1 dozen
Time: 1 hour (15 min active)
Ingredients
1 tbsp flax meal + 2 tbsp water
1/2 cup vegan butter (we recommend Miyokos)
3 tbsp almond butter
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chocolate chunks
flaky salt, optional
Mix ground flax & water and set aside.
In a large bowl cream the butter, almond butter, and sugar together until smooth. Add the flax egg and stir until combined. Fold in the flour, baking soda, salt, and vanilla until barely combined, there will still be some patches of flouriness. Next fold in your chocolate chips until the flour just disappears. Put the dough in the fridge and pre-heat the oven to 375 F.
Line a cookie sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Once the oven is pre-heated, remove the dough from the fridge and spoon even portions onto a cookie sheet leaving space in-between the cookies. This recipe should give you between 10-12 cookies. At this point, if you are using flaky salt, sprinkle it over the cookies. We think it tastes equally good with or without the flaky salt garnish. Bake 15-18 minutes rotating once in the middle. Remove from the oven and cool. Enjoy!
