Recipe: 6 Tbs vegan butter, soft but not melted(you could use coconut oil but it may change the flavour slightly) 1/2 cup sugar 4 tsp brown sugar 1 flax egg (1 Tbs ground flaxseed, 2 Tbs boiling water) 1 tsp vanilla 1&1/4 cups all purpose flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt Desired amount of vegan chocolate/ chocolate chips (I used about 1/2 a cup of chopped dark chocolate) Instructions: Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius.
