Do you love chocolatey, soft, perfectly sweetened, fiber-filled, vegan double chocolate cookies? Then I have a great post for you today!

These are the chocolate cookies we’ve been in love with these days! Today I baked a fresh batch with the intention of photographing and posting to share with you all.

The cookies are made healthy by using whole wheat flour, which adds fibre, ground flax seed in place of eggs, pure maple syrup to reduce the actual sugar amount, and non-GMO sunflower or coconut oil.

I tried making the cookies without sugar, using Xylitol instead, and also another batch that just used maple syrup only, but the texture just wasn’t right. A little bit of organic cane sugar makes these cookies perfect!

It’s always been a passion of mine to create recipes that are delicious but also have as many nutrients as I can pack into them. These cookies deliver that, as well as a very delicious sweet treat.

I hope you enjoy these cookies as much as we do!

Double Chocolate Cookies

Makes 27 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 cup organic cane sugar
• 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
