Ingredients

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F (177 C).
  • In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of ground flax and 6 tablespoons of water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes. This makes flax goo.
  • In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter spread, flax goo, vanilla and sugar together (wet ingredients).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk all (remaining) dry ingredients together.
  • Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix well. Should form cookie dough that feels similar to sugar cookie dough.
  • Put in fridge for about 20 minutes.
  • Use a 2 tbsp scooper to get the size right; you should have about 16 cookies. Roll them into little balls, roll them in powdered sugar and place them on parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Press each ball with a fork twice, making an X (90 degrees from one another).
  • *If you have a cold kitchen, some patience and a little extra flour, you can roll out cookie dough and cut into fun shapes or just like circles or oddly shaped
    rectangles. This will result in a thinner, crispier cookie.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper) for 8 - 10 minutes. They will be very soft. Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes; this will cause them to firm up.
