Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup maple crystals "NATURALVEGAN" for $10 off
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup pecans
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
Wet Ingredients:
- ⅔ cup coconut butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Begin by making the flax egg. Combine the ground flax seed and water together in a small bowl, mix, and set aside for about 10 minutes, or until a thick egg-like texture has formed.
- Add the dry ingredients together and mix until combined in a large bowl. You can use an electric mixer like a stand mixer or hand mixer, or you can do it by hand.
- Once the dry ingredients are mixed, add the vanilla extract, coconut butter, flax eggs, and maple syrup to the large bowl. Mix until a cookie dough has formed. Add the pecans and continue to mix. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
- While the cookie dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350.
- Once done chilling, use a cookie scoop to scoop out balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown on top.
- Once done place the cookies on a wire rack and allow them to cool for 15 minutes and enjoy!
