6tablespoonscoconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
¼cupmaple syrup
¼cupcoconut sugar
2tablespoonsground flaxseed
6tablespoonsfiltered water
2tablespoonsvanilla extract
Mix-ins
2tablespoonschopped dried cranberries
2tablespoonswhite chocolate chips (dairy-free)
2tablespoonschopped macadamia nuts
Instructions
Make the flax egg by combining ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir and then place in the fridge to thicken up.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone.
Place all of the dry ingredients into a medium-sized bowl and mix until combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix it all up. It should end up becoming a large ball of dough. Fold in the white chocolate chips, chopped macadamia nuts, and chopped dried cranberries.
Place a paper towel over the top and allow the dough to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Use a cookie scoop and place a 2-inch ball of dough, 1-inch apart on a lined cookie sheet. Use the bottom of a glass cup to slightly flatten the cookies because they will not expand during cooking.
Bake for 11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for about 2-3 minutes and then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. Once the cookies have reached room temperature, transfer them to an air-tight container.
Notes
Feel free to remove any of the mix-ins (white chocolate, macadamia nuts, or dried cranberries). You can replace them with your favorite chopped nuts or chocolate.
