Instructions:

  1. Make the Flax Eggs
    Combine 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water). Let sit for 5 minutes until gel-like.
  2. Melt the Chocolate
    In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or microwave in 30-second intervals), melt together 112 g (4 oz) bittersweet chocolate and 84 g (6 tbsp) unsalted vegan butter. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. Mix Sugars
    Whisk 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar and 135 g (½ cup + 2 tbsp) packed light brown sugar into the chocolate mixture. Add the flax eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, and 1 tbsp plant-based milk. Stir until glossy.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients
    Fold in 95 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour, 25 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp baking powder until just combined. Fold in 90 g (½ cup) semisweet chocolate chips.
  5. Bake
    Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Pour into a parchment-lined 20 cm (8-inch) square pan. Bake for 22–26 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool
    Let cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Why These Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

These cookies spread during baking. Leave at least 5cm / 2 inches between each cookie on the baking sheet.

The dough will look loose and wet — this is normal. Chilling it for 20 minutes makes it easier to handle.

Tips:

Do not overbake. The cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven — they firm up significantly as they cool.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.

Swaps:

Cocoa powder can be swapped for cacao powder for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor. Any neutral oil works.
