Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 10-12 Minutes Ingredients: 7 tbsp Earth Balance + 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup packed organic brown sugar 1/4 cup organic can sugar 1 flax egg: (1 tbsp ground flax mixed with 3 tbsp water) 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1 cup of Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour 1 cup gluten free oat flour (just vitamix 1 cup of certified gf rolled oats into flour) 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the flax egg and set aside. 2. With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat the Earth Balance and oil until fluffy. Add the sugars and beat for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Beat in the flax egg and vanilla extract. 3. Beat in the remaining ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips. 4. With wet fingers, shape balls of dough and place on the baking sheet. The dough will be very sticky but don’t worry! No need to flatten the balls down! Bake for about 10-11 minutes until slightly golden along edges. Allow to cool for 5-10 mins. on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack for another 10 minutes. By Angela Liddon of Ohsheglows.com [Photo: Homemade Vegan Cookies]
