Yummiest double chocolate chip cookies

Tonight I made an adapted version of another Oh She Glows recipe (mostly the same, only a few tweaks) - I had a sweet tooth I just HAD to satisfy! Dairy free desserts can make people skeptical about their taste, but believe me, these are divine!!

What you'll need:

Makes 12 cookies

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tablespoon ground flax mixed with 3 tablespoons water
• 1/4 cup virgin coconut oil (do not melt)
• 1/4 cup almond butter
• 1/3 cup unpacked brown sugar
• 1/3 cup natural cane sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups gluten-free rolled oats, processed into flour (or 1.5 cups oat flour)
• 1-2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk (only if needed to moisten batter)
• 1 cup non dairy chocolate chips (I love Enjoy Life brand, you can find them at Target & Whole Foods)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flax and water and set aside for a few minutes so it can thicken up. Whisk the flax water again once thickened.
2. Add the rest of the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flax egg (coconut oil, almond butter, brown sugar, cane sugar, and vanilla). With a hand-held electric mixer, beat the ingredients until combined and smooth.
3. Now, beat in the dry ingredients, one by one, as you go down the ingredient list (baking soda, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, oat flour). If your dough is a bit dry, add a teaspoon (or two) of almond milk and beat the mixture again. The dough should be moist enough to form balls without cracking, but not super sticky.
4. Pour in the chocolate chips and stir.
5. Shape balls of dough (about the size of a golf ball or 2 heaping tablespoons) and place on the baking sheet 2-3 inches apart. Gently press down on each ball with your hand to form a disc (it should be 1/2-inch thick or so).
6. Bake for about 12-13 minutes until the cookies are spread out nicely.
7. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 7 minutes or so and then enjoy!

My meat-lover boyfriend's approval rating:

Though we both really liked these, but we gave it 4 stars because turned out a bit flat and crispy. Still super yummy & rich though! And they are definitely the perfect fix for a chocolate craving!! :)

Enjoy them thoroughly!!
