Ingredients

  • 1 tbs ground flax seeds

  • 3 tbs water

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (NOT almond meal)

  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • ¾ tsp baking soda

  • ½ cup vegan butter (room temperature)

  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed

  • ⅓ cup granulated cane sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ⅔ - ¾ cup chocolate chips

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).

  • Line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper.

  • Prepare your flax egg by whisking together ground flax seeds and water. Set aside to thicken.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and baking soda together.

  • In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar, and salt until blended and creamy. Add flax egg and vanilla extract, and blend.

  • Add the almond flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix.

  • Add chocolate chips and stir until they have combined evenly with the dough.

  • Form to desired size (I used a 1/8 cup to form the perfect cookie size).

  • Bake for 10 minutes if you want soft, chewy cookies or bake for 12 minutes if you want crisp cookies.
