Vegan Chocolate Cookies

These vegan chocolate cookies are all the yummy goodness of fudgy brownies in cookie form!  They're quick and easy to make and they bake up soft, chewy, and delicious every time!

Mix together flax meal and water and set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, mix vegan butter, sugar, and cocoa powder until incorporated. Add flax egg, plant milk, and vanilla. Blend until fluffy.

Sprinkle in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt then mix until it forms a thick dough. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop out 2 tbsp of dough. Place it on a cookie sheet.  Press down to form the shape and thickness of the cookie that you want.  

Bake at 350° F (176° C) for 10-12 minutes.  Take out of the oven and allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes before removing them.

Place crushed candy canes on top in the last five minutes of baking for a festive twist! 

These double chocolate cookies will satisfy your chocolate cravings for sure! Serve them with a side of plant-based milk for dunking!
