Cups - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine the chia seeds with the water in a small bowl. Stir and set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, beat vegan butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to whip until creamy. Add the chia seed mixture and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl Stir together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon salt, oats and raisins.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the flour mixture, and stir until combined. 
  • Use a cookie scoop to drop the dough onto prepared cookie sheets, with dough balls spaced at least one inch apart.
  • Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, until golden brown. When done remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container. You can refrigerate these cookies to extend their freshness, up to a week. They can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Notes

  1. Freezing Tips. You can freeze the cookie dough by dropping the dough balls onto a tray and placing that try in a freezer. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Then when you're ready to bake, heat your oven to 350F, place the frozen cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet, and bake for 10 - 12 minutes.
  2. Flour. This recipe calls for Whole Wheat Pastry Flour which is different than whole wheat flour. You can substitute all-purpose flour. If you prefer to use Whole Wheat Flour, I recommend half whole wheat + half all-purpose and note that whole wheat flour changes the consistency of the finished cookie.
