Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds + 6 tablespoons water (flax egg)
- 1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 20-25 mg CBD oil (adjust based on your preferred dosage)
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (medium and large)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Cooling rack
- Small bowl for flax egg
- Spoon or cookie scoop
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the flax egg: In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it thickens to a gel-like consistency.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg until smooth and creamy.
- Add CBD oil: Carefully stir in the CBD oil into the wet mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Be mindful of your dosing preferences.
- Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the dairy-free chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
- Scoop the dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Cool: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Tips & Variations
“For the best texture, avoid overbaking your cookies. Slightly underbaked centers will set as they cool, giving you that perfect chewiness.”
- Adjust CBD dosage: Depending on your desired effect, feel free to increase or decrease the amount of CBD oil used. Always check the concentration per drop.
- Add nuts or seeds: Toasted walnuts, pecans, or pumpkin seeds add a delightful crunch and additional nutrients.
- Switch up the chips: Try vegan white chocolate chips, carob chips, or dried fruit like cranberries or raisins for variety.
- Flavor boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of almond extract for a twist on the classic vanilla flavor.
- Gluten-free option: Substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend to keep these cookies safe for gluten sensitivities.
