Directions
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a cookie sheet. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, chocolate chips, sugar, flax seeds, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the almond milk and water until combined, then pour this into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just mixed. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto your prepared baking sheet, then pop them in the oven. Let the cookies bake for about 15 to 18 minutes, or until you see the edges turn a lovely golden brown. Once out of the oven, let them sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving Recommendations
