Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seed
  • 5 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine grind sea salt
  • 1/2 cup room softened Earth Balance vegan butter
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup cashew or almond butter or nut butter of your choice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon solid coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and line a shallow baking pan with parchment paper leaving enough on the ends to help transfer cookies when done.
  2. In a small bowl mix ground flax seed with the warm water until completely combined, set aside.
  3. In a medium size bowl whisk (affiliate link) together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
  4. With a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix together the Earth Balance, coconut sugar and maple syrup until well combined and no dry ingredients remain.
  5. Add the flax egg, nut butter and vanilla, mix until well combined. Slowly add flour mixture and mix until no dry flour remains.
  6. Gradually fold add in the oats until well combined.
  7. Roll about 1 and ½ tablespoons of into a ball and place on parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Or you can use a melon scoop and scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of dough onto baking sheet.
  8. Bake 8 to 10 minutes for a softer cookie, a few minutes longer for harder cookies.
  9. When cookies have cooled slightly use the ends of the parchment paper to pick up the cookies and transfer them to a wire rack to cool.
  10. While cookies are cooling, melt chocolate and coconut oil together using the double boiler method. Stir as chocolate melts to combine.
  11. Transfer melted chocolate to a zip-lock bag, cut a small bit off a corner of the bag. Using a zig-zag motion, pipe the chocolate over the cooled cookies. Allow chocolate to harden or not if you’re like me and just can’t wait, before sharing or enjoying
