The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free)

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Make the flax egg by whisking together the flaxseed and water in a large bowl. Let it gel for 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the bowl with the flax egg. Whisk until combined.

Step 4

Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the dough (about 2-3 tablespoon sized balls) and place on the baking sheet (they will spread out so don't place them too close to each other).

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown (mine are usually perfect at the 13 minute mark). Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 7

Sprinkle with flakey sea salt (if desired). Enjoy!
