Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp Ground Flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp Water
  • cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • ¼ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil
  • ½ cup Cane Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ¾ cup Peanut Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the coconut oil, cane sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla. Stir in the flaxseed mixture and mix well.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Scoop dough using a 2-inch cookie scoop and roll into balls with your hands. The dough should be on the dry side. If it’s too dry and crumbly to work with, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it comes together. Flatten slightly and place on the baking sheet. Use a fork to make cross-hatch marks. Bake for 12 to 13 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Tip:

  • If you store your peanut butter in the fridge, allow it to sit at room temperature for an hour before making this recipe.
