Vegan Chocolate Mint Cookies

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.

In a separate bowl, beat butter with sugar until completely mixed. Then add flax egg and mix. You should end up with a thick sticky batter. Add vinegar, peppermint extract, and mix. (The purpose of vinegar here is to react with the baking soda, so you can end up with nice chewy cookies.)

Add dry mix to the wet and mix. Cookie dough should be thick. Throw in chocolate chips and mix.

Using your hands, form little balls of cookie dough. Place cookie dough balls on a parchment-paper-covered baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes. When you take your cookies out, they should be very soft to the touch. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer them to a cooling rack and let them chill.

Enjoy!

Note: I don’t recommend margarine because of all the hydrogenated oils in it.
