How to Prepare Chocolate Chip Quinoa Cookies Four Ways [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment.
In a medium bowl, mix together ground flaxseed and water and allow to sit for 15 min until a gloopy egg-like consistency is achieved.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together flour, soda, and salt.
Add sweetener, oil, applesauce, and vanilla to the flax eggs and mix well. Add dry ingredients and stir to combine.
Fold in chocolate chips and dried fruit or marshmallows and pretzel pieces then put the dough in the fridge to chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
Roll chilled dough into balls and place on parchment-lined baking trays. Press down slightly with a fork.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on tray for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
