Great cookies, healthy, and they work! For healthier version, cut sugar in half. I also like to add chopped walnuts and/or 1/4 cup cocoa powder.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 3

Mix water and flaxseed together in a bowl; soak 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Beat coconut oil, white sugar, and brown sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Beat the first egg into the butter until completely blended. Add vanilla with the second egg and beat until smooth.

Step 5
