Ingredients

• 1 cup Flaxseed meal
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar (packed)
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set the dry mixture aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as the cookies cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your freshly baked flax meal cookies with a glass of milk or a hot beverage!
