Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350F. Place a piece of parchment over a baking sheet, or lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Combine the flax seed and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- Place the room-temperature butter (I place the cold butter in the microwave for about 20 seconds) in another bowl. Add the sugars and whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes. It should become light and fluffy and be a light beige color.
- Add the flax mixture and the vanilla to the butter mix, and whisk well until combined.
- Add the flour mix to the butter mixture and stir together with a rubber spatula or wood spoon just until combined – do not overmix. Add the chocolate chips and gently fold into the batter.
- Drop by the heaping tablespoon onto the baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remember that it’s better for them to be under baked than over baked! Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool 10 minutes. Enjoy with an ice cold glass of almond milk…or ice cream if you’re feeling crazy!
Recipe Notes
- I prefer to use Earth Balance sticks as opposed to the tubs because they’re SO much easier to measure. I’ve used both options, and either one works in this recipe.
- Make sure not to melt the butter completely. If you put it in the microwave, you just want to soften it.
- Correct measuring is key! Make you’re measuring your ingredients correctly.
