Ingredients
Scale
Recipe adapted from: Southern Living Magazine:
- 1 cup creamy smooth peanut butter (make sure it’s drippy)
- 2 flaxseed “eggs” (see notes section)
- 1 cup coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the flaxseed with the water to create a flaxseed egg.
- Once the flaxseed is set, fold in the peanut butter, coconut sugar, baking soda, vanilla extract, and sea salt, and mix the batter until everything is combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Leave the dough in the bowl and place the bowl into the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and use a medium cookie scoop or your hand to form 1-1/2 tbsp-sized dough balls. Place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet to ensure that they spread without touching.
- Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges and almost all of the middle is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to set for 10 minutes. Because they are flourless, they’ll need a few moments to fully set.
- Remove from the baking sheet and serve.
Notes
For 1 flaxseed egg, combine 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed with 2-3 tbsp of water. Use the extra third tablespoon of water if the flaxseed is more dry than wet.
