Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set the dry mixture aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your freshly baked flax meal cookies with a glass of milk or a hot beverage!
