Instructions
1
Whisk the brown sugar and melted coconut oil together in a large bow. Add the ground flaxseed, dairy-free milk, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract. Stir well to combine.
2
Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until combined and dough forms. Let dough chill covered in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3
Preheat the oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the granulated sugar and powdered sugar in two separate small bowls. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop balls of dough. Roll in granulated sugar then coat generously in powdered sugar.
4
Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving room for them to spread. Bake for about 12 minutes, until set. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. The cookies will firm up as they cool. Transfer to a wire rack to let cool completely.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Dough for Perfect Crinkles ❄️Refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours before rolling to prevent spreading and achieve those signature deep crinkles and fudgy centers.
- Double-Coat for Snow-Like Finish ✨Roll chilled dough balls in granulated sugar first, then immediately dip in powdered sugar for a luxurious, thick snow-covered coating that won't shake off.
- Flaxseed Hydration Trick 🌱Mix ground flaxseed with dairy-free milk and let sit for 5 minutes before adding to create a proper egg replacer that binds ingredients and adds moisture for fudgy texture.
- Peppermint Extract Balance 🍫Start with ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract and taste the dough—add more gradually as extract can quickly become overpowering and mask the chocolate flavor.
- Don't Overbake for Fudgy Centers ⏱️Pull cookies from the oven at 12-13 minutes when centers still look slightly underdone; they'll set as they cool for perfect fudgy interiors with crispy crinkled edges.
