Ingredients

Cookies

  • 3 Tablespoon Water
  • 1 Tablespoon Flax Meal
  • 1 ½ Cup Paleo Flour I used Bob's Red Mill
  • 2 Tea Bags Earl Grey Creme
  • ¼ Cup Chopped Dark Chocolate
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Powder or Extract
  • ½ Cup Maple or Coconut Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoon Maple Syrup I used Runamok Burbon Infused Maple Syrup
  • Cup Vegan Butter I used Miyoko's Kitchen

Garnish

  • 1 Tablespoon Chocolate
  • 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
  • Cornflowers
  • Orange Zest

Special Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper

Instructions

Make the Flax "Egg"

  • In a small bowl mix the flax meal and water together.  Let sit for 5 minutes to bind together. 

Make the Cookie Batter

  • In the food processor place the flour, salt, baking powder and tea.  Process until fully incorporated. 
  • Add in the flax mixture, sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and vegan butter.  Process until the dough starts to look moist and clump together.  When you pinch the dough in between your fingers it should hold.  If the dough is still crumbling add a small cube of butter.  Add in the chocolate chunks at this point and just pulse a few times to mix in the dough.
  • Take out some parchment paper and shape the dough into a log.  Wrap the paper around the log and place in the freezer until solid.  About an hour.

Bake the Cookie

  • Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.  Line a sheet pan with more parchment paper.
  • Take the dough out of the freezer and cut into 1 cm medallions.  Place on the parchment. 
  • Bake for 10 minutes and cool completely on the tray. 

Decorate the Cookie

  • While the cookies are cooling down place the chocolate and coconut oil in a sauce pan and heat on low to melt.  Use the chocolate to drizzle on the cookies then sprinkle with the cornflowers and orange zest.
