Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1/3 cup (80 gm) coconut oil, firm not liquid
- 6 tablespoons organic brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons organic cane sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1–1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons (180 gm) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegan white chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed vegan peppermint candies, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare one or two large baking sheets with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Combine the flaxseed meal and water in a small bowl and set aside for at least five minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil, cane sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla, beating on medium speed just until combined, about 30 seconds. Add the flaxseed mixture and beat just to combine. Add the flour, soda, baking powder, and salt and stir just to combine. Add the white chocolate and stir to combine.
- Scoop out small balls (I use a medium cookie scoop) of dough and place them two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven about 9 minutes or until the cookies have set around the edges. Quickly remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the tops of each generously with crushed peppermint candies. Return to the oven for one more minute or until set and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
