Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the dairy-free buttery spread in a small saucepan. Heat on medium until melted. Add the ground flaxseeds. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add the All-Purpose Flour, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.
- Scrape the buttery spread into the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the brown sugar, sugar, water, and vanilla extract. Using the stand mixer (a hand mixer will work too), beat until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture. Beat until a dough forms. Stir in the Chocolate Morsels.
- Refrigerate the mixture for a minimum of 1 hour (this can be made up to two days in advance).
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Using your hands, roll about 3 tablespoons of dough between your palms and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are browned and the top is firm but still soft.
- Cool on the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (or serve warm).
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and any other leftovers to the freezer.
