Flax Seed Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chocolate chip cookies made with a flaxseed egg turn out soft, golden, and flavorful. You’ll love the slight crisp on the edges and the perfect chew in the center.

Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Make the flax seed egg: Mix one tablespoon of ground flax seeds with three tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.

  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat ½ cups softened butter, ½ cups sugar, and ¼ cups brown sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. Add wet ingredients: Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and the flax egg until well combined.

  5. Combine dry ingredients: Whisk together 1 cup flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.

  6. Mix everything: Gradually add the flour mixture and wet ingredients, stirring until combined.

  7. Fold chocolate chips into the mixture: Gently mix in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

  8. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet with a cookie scoop, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
