Gluten Free & Vegan Macadamia Nut Cookies
Author: 
Recipe type: Cookies, Gluten Free, Vegan
Serves: 12-16 cookies
 
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp ground chia seeds + 3 tbsp water
  • ⅔ cup vegan margarine*
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar of choice (I used a mix of brown and white)
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp sea salt (omit if nuts are salted)
  • 2¼ cups oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup roughly chopped roasted macadamia nuts
  • ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with a non-stick silicone mat or parchment paper.
  2. Make a vegan 'egg' by mixing the ground chia seeds and water in a small bowl. Let it gel up while you start the cookie dough.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until homogeneous. Add the vanilla extract, salt (if using), and vegan 'egg' and mix until even and smooth.
  4. Add the oat flour and baking soda and mix until fully combined. Fold in the macadamia nuts and chocolate chips.
  5. Portion out cookie dough using a muffin scoop (or 12 massive cookies) or a cookie scoop (for 16 smaller cookies) and flatten until about ¾" thick. Arrange cookie dough balls at least 1½" apart on prepared cookie sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned, just before the centre is set. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and then enjoy!
Notes
*I used Becel brand. Presidents Choice brand does not work for this recipe.
