Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Ground Flax
  • 6 tablespoon Water
  • 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, Room Temp it should be soft, but not melted.
  • 1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Molasses regular, not blackstrap
  • 2 ¼ Cup Flour
  • ¾ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ¾ teaspoon Kosher Salt halve this amount if using table salt
  • 1 Cup Vegan M&Ms I used Unreal Snacks brand, linked below

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350* F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
  • In a small bowl, combine flax, water and vanilla. Stir and set aside.
    2 tablespoon Ground Flax, 6 tablespoon Water, 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • In a large bowl, cream coconut oil, sugar and molasses together until well combined and fluffy.
    ½ Cup Refined Coconut Oil, Room Temp, 1 ¼ Cups Granulated Sugar, 1 tablespoon Molasses
  • Add the flax mixture and stir until combined.

    1 Cup Vegan M&Ms
  • Using a greased ¼ cup measuring scoop, scoop mounds of dough onto the cookie sheet leaving at least 2 inches of space between the cookies. I like to bake 8 cookies at a time.
  • Bake in a 350* Oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are just golden.
  • Allow to cool on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  • Repeat with the remaining dough.
