This cookie is INSANELY DELICIOUS. It tasted like it came from one of those fancy bakeries where cupcakes cost $4 each. The texture is perfect because I like my chocolate chip cookies soft baked and chewy, not crispy and crumbly. My kids devoured them. #divine
Could you please suggest an alternative to flax milk that you think might work? It’s not available where I live. Actually, I’d never even heard of it until now.
Oops. Nevermind. I just saw your post on how to make flax milk. Looking forward to giving the flax milk and cookies a try.
Hope you love them Starlene!
These look AMAZING, Jennifer! Can’t wait to make them! Sharing your link, too. 🙂

Awesome Shirley! Great hearing from you again and thanks so much!!!
Mine just went in the oven! I only ended up with 11 cookies, hope that’s about right.
Hi! Thank you for some egg-free recipes! What is the purpose of the apple cider vinegar, and why is it optional? Thanks!
It helps activate the baking soda, optional because they still “work” without it
Is there something I could use in place of coconut flour? My daughter is allergic to coconut.
I haven’t tried them with cassava flour, but that option might work well too!
Can I use an alternative milk to flax milk? Like coconut milk or almond milk?
Yes any dairy free milk will do!
they are in the oven, pretty so far. Made abt 11 cookies. they look meaty which is a good thing. 🙂 can’t wait to dig in and to bring to vegan friend. if they make it that far. thanks Jenn
