Instructions
1
Mix the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and set aside to gelatinize into a flax egg.
2
In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a large bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the flax egg and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
3
Add the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix on low-medium speed until just combined, then fold in the dairy free chocolate chips.
4
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Once refrigerated, preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
5
Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, roll the cookie dough into balls and place each on the baking sheets.
6
Bake for 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges are set. It's okay if the centers look a little underdone, the cookies will firm up while cooling. For crunchy cookies, cook for an extra 1-2 minutes.
7
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack.
8
Store oatmeal cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature before enjoying.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Master the Flax Egg Replacement 🌱Mix ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to create a gel that properly binds ingredients and adds moisture, preventing dry cookies.
- Chill Your Dough for Perfect Texture 🧊Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes before scooping to achieve those signature thick, chewy centers with crispy edges by preventing excessive spreading.
- Brown Your Vegan Butter First ✨Melt and gently brown your vegan butter for 2-3 minutes before creaming with sugars to add nutty depth and richness that compensates for the missing dairy richness.
- Don't Overmix After Adding Oats 🥣Fold in oats and chocolate chips by hand with a wooden spoon rather than using an electric mixer to keep cookies tender and prevent developing too much gluten structure.
- Underbake Slightly for Chewiness ⏱️Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are golden but centers still look slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the hot pan and achieve the perfect chewy texture as they cool.
