How to Prepare Spelt Basil Chocolate Chip Cookies [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make flax egg and set aside.
Mix coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, flax egg, and vanilla in a medium sized mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth (no clumps). Mix in baking soda and salt. Add in the flour 1/4 cup at a time. At this point, you may prefer to start mixing with your hands for optimal mixability. Add in the basil and chocolate chips.
Make approximately 2 tablespoon balls of dough and place them a few inches apart on the baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 9 minutes. They will seem gooey when they come out of the oven but do not overbake them! Let sit for about 10 minutes before devouring (ugh so hard to wait).
Enjoy!
