Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

  • ⅔ cup water, divided

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips

  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. Mix ground flax seeds with 1/3 cup water in a bowl; let sit until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  3. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.

  4. Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.

  5. Beat flax seed mixture, remaining 1/3 cup water, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add flour mixture and melted chocolate; mix until well combined. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until firm to the touch, 11 to 13 minutes.
