Ma Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Eggs)

Greetings friends!

LOOK AT MY AWESOME NEW SWEATER!!! IT'S SO COOL! I CAN'T STOP ADMIRING! I AM IN LOVE!!! <3

DONUTS! DONUTS! DONUTS! <3 <3 <3

If there's something you should all know, I am a sugarholic, especially when chocolate and donuts are involved. When it's chocolate + donut, my world is madeeeeeeeee! If there was a zombie apocalypse and all the zombies were feeding off sugary pastries to live, I would be their worst enemy. *evil laughter* Hehehehe~ :D

Without further ado, here is my Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies recipe that I came up with a few hours before my family Christmas party. With a generic cookie recipe in mind, I made use of ingredients I already had in the house and kept tasting the batter until it tasted just right. I also opted for no eggs for this reason; I wanted to taste the batter without worrying about dying from salmonella or some other digestive tract illness. Like I said before, a tasty batter means tasty cookies!

Ma Best Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Eggs)

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 3/4 cups brown sugar 
• 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 7 tbsp water
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups coconut flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips (or more if you are a chocoholic like me ;))
• 3/4 cups walnuts, chopped (optional)
• powdered sugar, topping (optional)

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, mix flaxseed and water. Let it sit for at least two minutes.
2. In a medium bowl, mix butter, oil, and sugar together. Add vanilla extract. Add flaxseed + water mixture and mix well.
3. In a large bowl, add w/w flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, chocolate chips, and walnuts. Mix well. You should now have a very tasty cookie dough.

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Roll out your cookie dough onto a cutting board into 1/4" thickness and cut into desired shapes (Since it's Christmas, I went with Christmas trees!) OR use two spoons to make large spoonfuls. Place desired shapes onto lightly greased baking sheets.
   
   TIP: I like to line my baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup!

6. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the bottom of cookie is lightly browned.
7. Allow to cool and top with powdered sugar if desired! (Powdered sugar will give the trees a snow-covered look. It also tastes great with these cookies!)

Makes about 40 cookies.

Storage Tip: Keep covered for soft, moist cookies! Stores for 3-5 days in an airtight container.

They are delicious (especially with milk)! 

Had to make all these cookies fit somehow...

Make it a cute gift by wrapping them up in a Chinese take-out box!

Winter is one of my favorite seasons because it's full of holiday spirit...and gives me an excuse to go on a baking frenzy! Also, who doesn't like homemade goods baked with love? Yummy in my tummy! ^___^
