Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Easy, vegan, wholesome and super addictive Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies. So delicious, even your non-vegan friends will love them.

Prep Time 10

Cook Time 12

Servings 6 - 8 big cookies

Ingredients

WET:

1 Tbsp ground flaxseed
3 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp melted coconut oil, plus more for greasing the pan
1 Tbsp almond butter*
1 tsp finely grated orange zest, tightly packed
½ tsp pure vanilla extract

DRY:

¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup coconut sugar
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
1.5 oz - 45 grams chocolate, roughly chopped - I used 70% chocolate (can sub chocolate chips)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F / 180 °C.
Grease a baking sheet with a little oil.
Add all wet ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until combined and set aside while you prep the rest. Ground flaxseeds will absorb some of the moisture and the mixture might thicken a little.
Mix all dry ingredients, except the chocolate, in a medium bowl.
Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Gently stir to combine.
Add the chocolate chunks and gently mix until the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use your hands to shape the dough into 6 - 8 balls. Flatten the balls just a little with the palm of your hands and place them on the prepared baking sheet leaving 2 to 3 inches (5 – 8 cm) of space between each cookie, they will spread out as they bake!
Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until the edges are starting to slightly brown.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. They will still be soft, but they’ll become firmer as they cool down. After 10 minutes you can transfer them to a rack.
Enjoy!
