Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup vegan butter (or coconut oil, softened)
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed soaked in 3 tbsp of water
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp coconut milk
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
• Salt flakes for garnish (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line one cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2. 2

   In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp of lukewarm water. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. 4

   In a bowl of an electric mixer, add brown sugar, regular sugar, and butter. Whisk together until light and fluffy. To the whipped butter/sugars mixture, add flaxseed mixture, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to incorporate. Add whisked dry ingredients and mix with a spatula to incorporate. Add chocolate chips.

5. 5

   Divide the cookie dough into 10 even portions. Give them in a round shape and place them onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 1.5-2” apart. Press on top additional chocolate chips so when the cookies are baked, they all have nice chocolate chunks on top. Bake for 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the cookies cool on the wire rack, then transfer onto the serving dish. Sprinkle with flaky salt on top as a garnish.
