Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 stick vegan butter 1/2 cup, use the sticks not the tub kind
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup applesauce
- ¾ tsp vanilla
- ⅓ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup vegan candy coated chocolates I use Unreal Dark Chocolate Gems
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ⅓ cup chopped peanuts or walnuts
Instructions
Prep
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 large cookie sheets with a non-stick baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
- Combine the flax seeds and water in a small bowl. Stir and set aside to thicken. Measure the oats into a blender and pulse a few times to finely chop.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea into a large bowl and use a whisk to combine. Then add the oats, mix again and set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Add the softened butter, cane sugar and brown sugar to another large mixing bowl and beat for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla, applesauce and thickened flax egg and beat for 1 more minute.
Combine
- Add half of dry ingredients to the bowl with wet ingredients and use a wooden spoon to combine. Then add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until only a little bit of flour is visible. Then add the chocolate chips, candy coated chocolates, cranberries and chopped peanuts.Tip: Mix just until evenly combined and then stop. Do not overmix or you'll have tough cookies.
Bake
- Use a medium sized ice cream scoop or large rounded tablespoon for each cookie and place 12 cookies on each tray. Then chill for 20 minutes to allow the butter to firm up.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes. Then remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 so they can fully set.Serve with a glass of cold almond milk and enjoy!
