Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (Nut-free, Gluten Free)
These nut-free, chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies have the most incredible texture and are bursting with flavor. They are nut-free, made with sunflower seed flour, are vegan, gluten-free, and you only need a handful of ingredients! A perfect recipe for the cookie table this holiday season!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup sunflower seed flour *See above post for how-to
- 1 flax egg or regular egg
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- generous pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. If using a flax egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 2 1/2 tbsp water and set aside to thicken 5-10 minutes.
- Start by blending sunflower seeds in a high powered blender until it reaches the consistency of almond flour - super fine! You'll need around 2 cups of sunflower seeds to get 1 3/4 cups sunflower seed flour.
- Then add in the remaining ingredients, mixing well until dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Use a cookie scoop to drop by roundfuls onto a lined cookie sheet. Use your palm to slightly flatten them.
- Bake for 11-12 mins, until golden around the edges. Let them cool completely (i actually like sticking mine in the freezer for a bit) before enjoying! They'll firm up as they cool.
