PERFECT VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Makes 2 dozen

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons ground flax

4 tablespoons water

4 ounces vegan butter (I used Miyokos)

1 cup coconut sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/3 cup flour (I used Eat Grain sifted red fife)

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

3/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chunks

PROCEDURE

Combine the ground flax and water in a small bowl and stir to combine. Allow to gel for a few minutes.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and sugar. Beat on medium high until light and fluffy.  Add the soaked flax and vanilla and mix again. Add the baking soda, flour, and salt and mix on medium until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.

When ready to bake preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1-2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until beginning to brown around the edges. Allow to cool slightly, before serving.

Notes: 

I used APP flour and saw no major issue with the spread. If you go to the original blog post, the author says that APP didn't work as good for her. 

I used Miyoko’s as well, and I used TJ's coconut sugar. I basically followed the recipe to the T. I thought the dough came together nicely and felt like nonvegan cookie dough. Easy to roll into balls. 

I didn’t love them, but TK loved them. They are best warm. The next day they get quite chewy. Would I make again? Unsure. Maybe just for vegans. They are visually rather appealing, I must say.
