Description

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp flaxseed meal
• 1.5 Tbsp water
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp molasses
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 to 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup oil (organic canola or safflower or extra virgin olive oil)
• ¾ cup + 1 tbsp chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour), or use Besan (gram flour) **
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 Tbsp almond flour (ground almonds)
• a good pinch of salt
• ⅓ to ½ cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

• Mix the flax seed meal and water and let it sit for 5 minutes.
• Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until the mixture is well combined. It will take a minute for the oil to incorporate.
• Add ¾ cup flour and the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture is a stiff batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.Add as much chocolate as you like in chip or chunks or chopped.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour to overnight to chill. Check the mixture, if the mixture is too sticky or batter like, fold in another 1 to 3 tsp chickpea flour. *
• Line the sheet with parchment. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Scoop the mixture on the baking sheet. I use a big spoon for large cookies and shape it loosely into a 1.5 inch ball. Sprinkle some coarse salt for salted chocolate chip cookies. Place on baking sheet atleast 2 inches away from each other. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes or until the cookies have spread and are starting to turn golden on the edges. Bake a minute longer for crunchier cookies.
• Take the sheet out and slam lightly it on the counter to release the excess air from the cookies. **
• Cool for 10 minutes, then remove from the sheet. cool for another few minutes before serving. The cookies are softer when warm and get chewier as they cool.
