Equipment
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 ½ cups maple crystals
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- ½ cup plant based chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup almond butter
- 7 tablespoon water for the flax egg
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Flax Egg:
- In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens, forming a flax egg.
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, maple crystals, cornstarch, baking soda, vanilla bean powder, and sea salt.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Add the flax egg and almond butter to the dry ingredients, mixing until a uniform cookie dough forms.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
Scoop and Shape:
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough and place rounded mounds onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
Flatten and Bake:
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy:
- Once cooled, savor the wholesome goodness of your Vegan Almond Butter Cookies! Store them in an airtight container for freshness.
