How to Prepare Double Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with a silpat (optional).
To a large mixing bowl add flaxseed meal and water. Stir and allow to rest and thicken up for 3 minutes.
Add the brown rice syrup, coconut sugar, peanut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until combined, about 3 minutes.
Gradually mix in the baking soda, sea salt, cocoa powder, and brown rice flour until combined.
Stir or mix in chocolate chips.
Using a melon baller or rounded tablespoon drop cookies onto a baking sheet spaced 2 inches apart.
Handling as little as possible, gently flatten each cookie into a disk shape (it may help to roll the dough into a ball shape first). Due to the nature of the coconut oil it may begin to melt and pool around the raw cookie dough, that’s OK.
Simply mix dough between batches, and remove any excess oil from the baking sheet before adding a new batch of cookies to the pan.
Bake for approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

When the cookies are fresh out of the oven, warm on the baking pan, you may want to cut away the excess ring the coconut oil makes around the edges of some cookies for a more attractive shape (optional).
