Recipe Card
ingredients
- 1 tabelspoons ground flax seed meal
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1 1/3 cups almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoons sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 5 tablespoons vegan butter, softened at room temperature*
- 1/4 cups light brown sugar
- 1/4 cups granulated/cane sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 5 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped or chips (about 1 cup)
- Maldon Sea Salt, to sprinkle
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2
To prepare the “flax egg” mix together a ground flaxseed meal with the 2 ½ Tbsp water in a small bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes, until it becomes a thick gel.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sea salt & baking soda. Set aside.
Step 4
In a bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a handheld mixer with a bowl), combine the vegan butter, brown sugar, granulated/cane sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed 3-5 minutes, until combined and creamy.
Step 5
Next, mix the flax egg into the butter mixture just until combined.
Step 6
Pour the dry ingredients (from step 3) into the butter-egg mixture and mix on medium speed just until combined.
Step 7
Using a rubber spatula, fold the chocolate chunks into the cookie dough.
Step 8
Using a ¼ cup, scoop about 9 cookie dough balls onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 2 inches of space between each mound of dough. If making smaller cookies (totalling 18 cookies), scoop 2-tablespoonfuls per cookie.
Step 9
Refrigerate the dough for 15 minutes (if you have the time).
Step 10
Bake cookies for 18-20 minutes in the middle oven rack. Sprinkle cookies with flakey sea salt right after baking.
Step 11
Allow cookies to cool on a wire baking rack for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
