Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 2.5 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter*, slightly softened to room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two cooking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray with oil.
  2. Mix together the flaxseed and water in a small bowl and set aside to make your flax egg.
  3. In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat the softened butter and brown sugar together for 1-2 minutes until creamy.
  4. Add the vanilla and flax egg and mix to combine.
  5. Stop the mixer, add the flour then sprinkle on the cornstarch, baking soda and salt on top of the flour. Turn the mixer on low speed and mix until just combined.
  6. Add in the chocolate chips to incorporate, either by hand or using the mixer.
  7. Roll the dough into balls, about 1-2 tablespoons each. Place on prepared pans and bake for 10 minutes (12 minutes for larger cookies). DO NOT OVERBAKE. They will be barely golden around the edges, puffy and lightly colored.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. The cookies will firm up as they cool and become the most chewy chocolate cookies ever! Enjoy!
