Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies [+VIDEO]

1 Preheat oven to 350°
0 In a small dish, combine the ground flaxseed meal with the water to make a flax egg. Set aside. 
2 In a large bowl cream together the softened vegan butter and brown sugar. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes.
3 Add dry ingredients to the bowl followed by the wet ingredients (including the flax egg from step 2).
4 Mix until well combined. If mixture is still crumbly, add optional unsweetened plant milk if needed to create a dough. 
5 Once a dough has formed, fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
6 Use a cookie scoop to transfer the mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then roll each scoop between the palm of your hands to smooth out into a ball (optional).
7 Transfer to the oven to bake for 12-14 minutes. 
8 Once finished, remove the cookies from the oven and garnish with optional salt flakes. Enjoy!
