Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp flax-seed meal
  • 1/3 cup plus 3 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vanilla
  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups creamy or crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 11.5 oz vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups toasted pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl whisk the flax-seed meal and water, let rest for 10 minutes

  2. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or a bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the vanilla, vegan butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar and peanut butter until well combined and creamy. Add the flax-seed mixture and mix in

  3. In another bowl whisk together the flour, tapioca flower, baking soda and salt and add to the wet ingredients slowly mixing until it all comes together, dough will be stiff and a bit crumbly

  4. Mix in the chocolate chips and pecans, pat down and cover, let sit in the fridge for 30 minutes, I find that chilled cookie dough bakes so much nicer and doesn't spread out as much

  5. Preheat oven to 375 F

  6. Form the dough into balls from a rounded tablespoon or a cookie scoop onto parchment lined sheet pans, I got 40 cookies, so depending on how big you make them, you could come up with a few less or a few more...

  7. Bake in oven for 15 to 18 minutes, mine came out exactly at 18 minutes in a convection oven

  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before placing them on a platter or cooling rack
