Thick & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (vegan + paleo)

FULL POST: nataliejo.co/thick-chewy-choc...
Ingredients
1 flax egg
1/2 cup cashew butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
2 tbsp almond milk
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cassava flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup Hu Gems
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
2. Prepare the flax egg and set aside to gel.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine almond butter, coconut oil, flax egg, coconut sugar, and vanilla. Beat with a hand mixer until well combined.
4. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat to incorporate.
5. Fold in the Hu Gems.
6. Scoop onto a lined baking sheet (I did about 3 tbsp per cookie, but they are quite big so you could use less for smaller cookies) leaving space in between for spreading.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375ºF until golden on the edges.
8. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

The Cookies looks amazing and yummy.🍪😋🙋‍♀️

[@FeastingonFruit]

Oh I adore them, hope you will too!

[@ladycapulet0662]

I just made these. Holy moly, these are tasty! They slightly tasted like peanut butter which is funny because I used tahini (my son is allergic to nuts). Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside. The perfect chocolate chip cookie. Thank you for the awesome recipe, Natalie! A definite keeper!

[@FeastingonFruit]

Oooh I bet these would be amazing with tahini, I have to try that😋😋 Appreciate your feedback and I am so happy you guys enjoyed them!

Absolutely, they would be the perfect pair🍪☕️

[@catalinababy6068]

Yum

[@ladycapulet0662]

Looks so delicious. Could tahini be used in place of the cashew butter?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yes absolutely I love that idea😋

[@sumyaahmed1358]

Can we substitute 1 real egg for the Flax egg, or will it change the recipe ?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yes that will work!

[@sumyaahmed1358]

Natalie // Feasting on Fruit thank you! Can’t wait to make them today 🤤💕

[@michelleread6797]

What’s the recipe for flax egg please

[@rushabhadhye8648]

Hey Natalie. Can I substitute any other flour for cassava?

[@FeastingonFruit]

All purpose or spelt would work!

[@Bluemist77]

What would be a good sub for cassava flour? Thank you.

[@FeastingonFruit]

All purpose or spelt would work!

[@Psalm-ii2sh]

What can I use to substitute cassava flour and cashew butter?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Cashew butter could be swapped with any nut/seed butter. And the only subs for cassava I know will work are spelt or all purpose, haven't tested any GF alternatives

[@kaaviyasenthil6894]

Could I use almond meal instead of cassava flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

I don't recommend almond meal or flour here, but you could try this recipe instead: nataliejo.co/almond-flour-chocolate-chip-cookies/

[@kimberlyramm295]

I see a few comments about substitutions for the cassava flour. I'd like to ask if you think teff or sorghum flour would work in this recipe?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Haven't tested either and I don't work with them often, whichever is most similar to AP would be my best rec!

[@kimberlyramm295]

Alrighty, I just get to experiment! I'm up for that!!

[@FeastingonFruit]

@@kimberlyramm295 All the cookie luck to youuuuuu!

[@kimberlyramm295]

[@bkgupta88]

1 flax egg define it please

[@FeastingonFruit]

1 tbsp of ground flax meal + 3 tbsp warm water mixed together and allowed to sit and thicken for about 10 minutes

[@ornella7186]

Is cassava flour the same as tapioca starch?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Made from the same root, but processed differently. They really aren't interchangeable, tapioca is MUCH stickier so the cookies will be too gummy if you use that. Sorry!

[@pleiadianstarseed2819]

Would tapioca starch work instead of cassava flour I can never find any..

[@FeastingonFruit]

They are not interchangeable unfortunatley, tapioca is MUCH stickier, but you could use all purpose here instead!

[@pleiadianstarseed2819]

@@FeastingonFruit would the bobs red mill gluten free 1:1 work?

[@likewhatizzy1323]

Is there a substitute for cassava flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

All purpose flour would work here too!

@@FeastingonFruit thank you :)

[@aimeerivera6625]

Could I use arrowroot instead of cassava?? That's all I have 😐

[@FeastingonFruit]

You can try it but they may be a bit gummy, its much stickier

[@ajengsoetrisno2139]

Can i subs the cashew butter with just a vegan butter?

[@FeastingonFruit]

You can try it, but haven't tested so can't guarantee the texture will be as thick and chewy. I think they will probably spread more and be a bit more thin. Still delicious though!

[@ajengsoetrisno2139]

Okay, will try! Thank youuu for the answer

[@melissaschroeder1670]

I’m guessing any nut butter would do?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep absolutely! Whatever kind you love :)
