Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Ground flaxseed
  • 1 teaspoon Almond milk/water
  • ⅓ stick (37 gms) Vegan butter (room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup (63 gms) Light brown sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Almond extract

  • ¼ Cup Vegan chocolate chunks (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Mix your ground flax-seed in water and set it aside to form flax egg.
  • Beat softened butter for a minute or so and add brown sugar to it. Beat this mixture till it turns very light and fluffy. About 2-3 minutes, using a hand mixer or balloon whisk.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 deg F and line a cookie sheet with silicon mat or parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Add both extracts and flax egg (strain if required) to the butter mixture. Mix well to combine.
  • Sift your flour, baking soda and cornstarch over this mix and fold just until flour disappears into the dough. Fold in the chocolate chips and chocolate chunks (if using) saving a few to press on top.
  • Form 5 cookie balls. About 3 tablespoons each. Roll them tall, about 2-2.5 inches in height.
  • Place mounts on your cookie sheet and stick the sheet in freezer until these mounts are firm to touch. About 5 minutes.
  • Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes. They will still appear very soft in the center. But the cookies will continue to firm on cookie sheet as they cool. Don't over bake them.
  • Let them cool on the sheet for 5-7 minutes. While the cookies are cooling, you can press those saved chocolate chips and chunks on top of each cookie. Transfer on a wire rack to cool down further. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  1. Cookies stay fresh at room temperature, covered tightly for 4-5 days.
  2. Both baked and unbaked cookies can be frozen for upto 2 months in the freezer. To freeze unbaked cookie mounts: form balls and store them in a ziploc. Bake for an extra minute, no need to thaw these mounts.
  3. These are pretty large cookies, if you wish to bake them smaller, you may from 8 balls out of the dough. Baking time in this case would be somewhere around 10-11 minutes.
