Instructions

 

  1. In a small bowl combine the ground flax and water. Set aside to thicken. This will serve as the eggs in the cookie
  2. Preheat oven to 410 degrees.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cold cubed vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 2-4 minutes until fluffy, you don’t want it runny.
  4. Add the flax egg mixture and peppermint extract and mix well (1 minute)
  5. Now add in the tahini (optional)
  6. In a large bowl combine all of the dry ingredients. Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in increments (flours, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt) mixing after each time just a little until combined. Avoid over mixing. Fold in chocolate chips. Cover and chill the dough for 15 minutes. If you skipped the tahini, skip the chilling. Also, without the tahini the cookies will spread less + bake faster. 
  7. Separate dough into large roughly shaped balls and place on lightly colored cookie sheet. Don’t make the dough too smooth, you want the dough roughly formed and tall. You will fit 4 cookies on one large cookie sheet. The dough makes 8 extra large cookies.
  8. Bake for 8-9 minutes and once removed from the oven place chopped peppermint candy on top. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes to set. You can add the chopped peppermint when you bake them, but they will melt.

 

Notes

  •  If you over mix your batter, they will be flat
  • If your butter melts, they will spread more
  • If you don’t stack the dough high enough, they will be flat (makes 8 cookies)
  • If you over bake them, they will be flatter
