Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 flax egg: 1 TBSP ground flaxseed + 3 TBSP water
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Earth Balance or other plant-based butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup natural apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips
  • 2 TSP butterscotch extract
  • 1 TSP baking powder
  • 1/4 TSP salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Make the flax egg by combining the flaxseed and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream the vegan butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the butterscotch extract, apple sauce and flax egg. Beat until combined well.
  • In another bowl, combine the flours, baking powder and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon, then add in the wet ingredients and stir. Add in the mini chocolate chips and stir until mixed in evenly.
  • Use a cookie scooper or spoon to form 18 cookies on the baking sheet, flattening them with a spatula or the bottom of a glass. The cookies will not spread much when baked, so you can place them closely together.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow them to slightly cool before enjoying.
