Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 2 1/2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup salted vegan butter softened to room temperature (1 stick)
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch or sub arrowroot powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt use 1/2 tsp if using unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup mini white chocolate chips optional
- 1 cup roughly chopped oreo cookies about 8 cookies
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray or line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat and set aside. Prepare the flax “egg” by mixing the flaxseed and water well; set aside for at least 5 minutes to let thicken.
- Cream the Butter: Add the softened butter, cane sugar, and brown sugar to a large bowl or stand-mixer. Use a stand mixer or electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together on low speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is smooth, light, and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula as necessary.
- Wet Ingredients: Add the flax “egg” and vanilla to the bowl and beat again, until the mixture is smooth and combined.
- Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until a thick, non-sticky dough forms. Add the chopped cookies and white chocolate chips (if using) to the batter and fold into the dough, using a spatula to break up the cookies slightly.
- Form the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form 12 cookies with just under 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie. Roll each cookie into a smooth ball and space evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Do not flatten the cookie dough; it will spread as it bakes in the oven.
- Bake: Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 10 to 12 minutes; the cookies will look puffy and pale, but the bottom edges should be golden.
- Cool: Take the cookies out of the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for another 10 minutes, where they will deflate further. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool completely.
- Serve & Store: Enjoy the cookies immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also store the baked cookies in the freezer for up to 2 months, but I would recommend storing the cookie dough balls instead and baking when desired :)
Notes
- Vegan Butter: Different vegan butters will spread differently during baking. I have had success using Country Crock, Earth Balance, and Violife plant-based butter sticks (not spread). Vegan butter can be replaced with softened coconut oil, but they will be slightly more dry. I recommend using refined coconut oil so there is no coconut flavor.
- Other Substitutions: The sugar can be swapped for coconut sugar, but the cookies will be darker and color and more dry. I have not tested this cookie with any flour substitutions, but I imagine a gluten-free all-purpose blend would work well!
