Ingredients
- 1.5 tbsp flaxmeal
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp warm water
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar such as light brown sugar , coconut, cane sugar or other
- 1/2 cup almond flour **
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder (I like dutch processed(alkali processed cocoa powder but either will work)
- 1 tbsp tapioca starch , or use cornstarch or all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup almond butter or cashew butter (scant cup)
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup finely chopped vegan chocolate or mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix flax meal with 1/4 cup water in a large bowl set aside. Add the maple, vanilla, sugar to the bowl and mix well to combine the sugar.
- Mix in almond flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and tapioca starch if using, until well combined.
- Mix in the almond or cashew butter and chocolate until well combined. Add 1 tbsp hot water and mix in.
- Chill for an hour. Preheat to 350 F(180C). Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to scoop out the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Keep an inch around the scoops. Top with salt, flakes, sugar, candy cane, or cayenne for a mexican chocolate cookie
- Bake for 12-14 mins (depending on scoop size and crispness level preferred). Cookie slam the sheet on the counter when you take it out so the cookies settle. this helps get a more cookie like dense texture. Cool for 10 mins, then serve. Store: Cool completely and store on the counter, covered, for upto 4 days. Refrigerate for longer
- ** Depending on your nut butter used and preference of texture (for crispier), you might need to add 2 to 3 tbsp more almond flour. Chill again for half an hour and then bake
