Ingredients
1 tbs ground flax seeds
3 tbs water
1 ½ cups almond flour (NOT almond meal)
1 ½ cups rolled oats
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¾ tsp baking soda
½ cup vegan butter (room temperature)
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup granulated cane sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅔ - ¾ cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Line cookie sheet(s) with parchment paper.
Prepare your flax egg by whisking together ground flax seeds and water. Set aside to thicken.
In a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and baking soda together.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, sugar, and salt until blended and creamy. Add flax egg and vanilla extract, and blend.
Add the almond flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix.
Add chocolate chips and stir until they have combined evenly with the dough.
Form to desired size (I used a 1/8 cup to form the perfect cookie size).
Bake for 10 minutes if you want soft, chewy cookies or bake for 12 minutes if you want crisp cookies.
