Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp (14 g)
    ground flaxseeds
  • ¼ cup (60 mL)
    water
  • 5.3 oz (150 g)
    dairy-free dark chocolate, broken into pieces†
  • 3 Tbsp (41 g)
    refined coconut oil†
  • ½ cup (90 g)
    brown sugar, lightly packed, lightly packed
  • ⅓ cup (46 g)
    roasted unsalted almonds, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)
    pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (138 g)
    all-purpose flour†
  • ½ tsp
    baking powder
  • ½ tsp
    salt

Optional garnish

  • flaked sea salt

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the flaxseeds and water. Set aside.
  2. Fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Place a large heat-safe bowl on top of the saucepan. Add the chocolate and coconut oil, mixing until it's all melted.
  3. Then add the brown sugar and mix well. Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Be careful as the bowl will be hot.
  4. To the same bowl, add the flaxseed mixture, almonds, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  5. Place a sieve over the bowl, and sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, careful not to over-mix. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop up about 1½ Tbsp fo the dough and roll into little balls with your hands. The cookies don't spread much on their own, so place them on the baking tray and gently press the dough down to create little disks about 1 cm thick. Leave about 5 cm between each cookie on the tray.
  8. To decorate, gently press a couple of small pieces of chopped chocolate and chopped almonds to the top of each cookie before baking in the oven for 10 - 11 minutes.
  9. When the cookies are removed from the oven, sprinkle with some sea salt, if desired. Let cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

  • †Tip: best to choose a chocolate that's tasty enough that you'd enjoy eating it on its own. Chocolate is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so the taste of the final cookies depends largely on the taste of the chocolate used.
  • †Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts. If you prefer a distinct coconut taste, use unrefined coconut oil instead.
  • †We've also made this recipe using 1¼ cup (156 g) flour, which yields a more firm, cake-like cookie rather than a soft and brownie-like cookie. Both taste delicious, so you can use whichever measurement you prefer.

Hey, Sadia and PUL! I tried this recipe today, turned out to be heavenly.
Thank you for creating and blessing your viewers with such a fantastic recipe.
One question though, is it travel-friendly? Also, can it be stored in a refrigerator?

PUL Team - Dec. 5, 2022, 12:43 a.m.

Hey there, Susmita, thank you for the kind words and questions! These cookies are delicious for travels and you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for around 4-5 days. They start to dry up around 4-5 days in the fridge. In case you're interested and haven't already seen, we have several other on-the-go friendly snacks on our recipe filter page here: pickuplimes.com/recipe/?sb=&a… 🤗

Najmi - Oct. 15, 2022, 11:19 p.m.

Hi Sadia,
I love your recipes. Can these cookies be made with almond flour or GF flour?

PUL Team - Oct. 16, 2022, 6:46 p.m.

Hey Najmi, we can't say with certainty as we haven't had a chance to test it with gluten-free flour. All-purpose flour has gluten which helps give the classic cookie structure.

With that said, a mix of gluten-free flours usually works better than using just one flour on its own. Here's a flour blend recipe from Minimalist Baker that might help: minimalistbaker.com/diy-glute…. If you opt to experiment with only almond flour, perhaps 3/4 cup of almond flour with additional gel made from flaxseeds and water is a start. We suspect the cookies will be too thin and less fudgey with only almond flour though. We hope this helps for now 🙂

Najmi - Oct. 19, 2022, 2:01 a.m.

Thank you. So I ended up using just almond flour because I was out of GF flour and can’t use coconut flour due to FodMap restrictions. I used 1:2 substitution and kept everything else the same (will probably use more gel like you said) but they came out perfect. They were dense in a really good brownie way. Just not as thick (but more gel will help with that) but were not to thin. They were the thickness of a normal baked cookie, not brownie thickness. They were gone in 3 days. Making another batch tonight with same flour ratio but will use more flaxseed gel. This is definitely a winner!!

puedo usar aceite de girasol en lugar de coco ? gracias

PUL Team - July 14, 2022, 7:45 p.m.

Hey Hortensia, coconut oil is solid at room temperature which helps the cookies stay firm. You could test them out with an alternative oil if desired although the cookies may end up a bit more crumbly with the taste of the oil being more noticeable. We hope you enjoy the cookies if you give them a try 😃

Hello sadia,

Can i use this recipe without the sugar? And what can i do instead? Im nog a sugar lover so i want to try this without the sugar. But i want it to know if it will work before i get me hands dirty hihi.

Happy to hear from you,

PUL Team - May 15, 2022, 11:41 p.m.

Hey Hakima, we haven't tested it out so we can't say with absolute certainty. It would likely impact the taste and texture of the cookies. Do let us know if you experiment with it though! In case you're interested and haven't already seen them, we have cookie recipes here which exclude added sugar: pickuplimes.com/recipe/?sb=co… 🙂

Lie - Sept. 26, 2022, 7:19 p.m.

Dear Hakima, I do not use any sugar when making Sadia's dessert recipes. I use honey instead (one to two tablespoons depending on how much you want), and all recipes are always a huge hit.

Thank youuu! I love your work PUL!

PUL Team - Dec. 21, 2021, 5:27 a.m.

Hi there, Valentina, thanks for the question! The flaxseed mixture helps the cookies stick together. Using ground chia seeds in place of flax would work well. Some alternative ideas that we haven't had a chance to test out include half a mashed banana, aquafaba, or silken tofu. Do let us know if you experiment with it ☺️

Hi
I made this cookies again for Christmas. ☺️ But I just read that you should store it only for 3 days. Is there away to keep them longer fresh?

PUL Team - Dec. 21, 2021, 3:15 a.m.

Hi there, Janina! We haven't tested it out, but you could experiment with refrigerating or freezing the cookies in an airtight container. You might find that the cookies dry up and lose their fresh flavour a bit though. Do let us know how it goes if you try it out 🙂

Maryam - Dec. 17, 2021, 7 p.m.

I used half a cup of almond flour, and half a cup of regular flour- they were less fudgey and less soft but still really tasty! I thought they would probably fall apart if I used only almond flour. I would definitely make them again, so chocolately and I couldn't get enough!

Hi John, thanks for the question! We haven't tested it out although generally, cookie dough refrigerates well for around 2 days in an airtight container. You may find that this batter dries up if stored longer. Do let us know how it goes if you experiment with it though 😊

Alexa - Nov. 7, 2021, 10:22 p.m.

I made these the first time w/ regular flour and they were amazing! My husband, who is not a big sweets eater, ate three immediately. I had to keep them away so they'd last at the party the next night. They are a great flavor, not too sweet, satisfying, rich and delicious.

I recently tried them with bob's red mill 1 to 1 glutten free flour for a neighbor w/ celiacs. They came out amazingly! You *almost* couldn't tell it was GF. The texture was virtually the same, and they held their shape really well. There was a tiny bit of gf flour aftertaste, but that's hard to avoid when using gf flours. Worth a try if you are gf!

Have already made this recipe a couple of times, and would definitely be making it again! The important thing, as Sadia mentions in the video, is to use a chocolate that you enjoy the taste of as is - it makes a big difference to how the cookies turn out. I also gifted a batch of these to my cousins, and they appreciated these cookies too! Thanks for this lovely recipe!

Rajoshi - Aug. 25, 2021, 3:23 a.m.

Love this cookie. I always end up overbaking (~16 mins) because at 11minutes it looks barely ready. However, I read in another similar brownie cookie blog that it's supposed to come out soft and hardens as it cools. Will try that next time.

PUL Team - Aug. 25, 2021, 4:49 a.m.

Thank you for sharing, Rajoshi, letting the cookies cool on the baking tray indeed will allow them to harden more 😃

Erin - Aug. 18, 2021, 12:59 a.m.

These cookies are delicious, I love to make them as gifts for friends and everyone raves about them! I sub roasted pumpkin seeds for those that can't eat nuts. Like most vegan cookies, they are a bit crumbly, but that doesn't matter because it's all about the taste!

PUL Team - Aug. 19, 2021, 10:57 p.m.

Hey there, Erin! Cookies that come out crumbly might mean there's too much flour in comparison to oil and sugar. Did you measure using the gram and mL amounts listed, or using the cup and Tbsp amounts?

In case you use cup measurements, perhaps it might help to ensure that the flour isn't too packed in the cup, but rather, gently spooned into the measuring cup and levelled. This will ensure that not too much flour is added if you give the recipe another try. So happy the cookies were enjoyed in any case 😊

Reply
Hannah - Aug. 6, 2021, 9:37 p.m.

The cookies are delicious! However, they spread quite a bit even though I distanced them. I’ve made another cookie recipe from PUL and those spread as well. I can’t for the life of me think of what I’m doing wrong. However, since they are so tasty, next time I’ll just put the cookie mixture into a baking dish and make cookie bars :)

PUL Team - Aug. 7, 2021, 2:56 a.m.

Hey Hannah, so glad you liked the cookies! Spreading out might be because there's too much fat/oil in the batter. If you ever try them again as cookies, perhaps try either decreasing the fat a bit, or increase the flour a touch. That should do the trick. If it's also warm where you are, popping the cookie balls into the fridge or freezer to chill for about an hour or so, and then baking can also help. Last tip: making sure you're using a silicone mat or baking paper, instead of greasing straight onto the baking tray, as this can also cause cookies to spread. I hope these tips help 🤓

Hi Caterina, thank you for the kind words! We can't say for certain that almond flour will work as we haven't tested it out, although we imagine with some experimenting it could. Perhaps 3/4 cup of almond flour with additional gel made from flaxseeds and water is a good place to start 😊 Let us know how it goes if you give the substitute a try!

just noticed when watching the ChocBrownie cookie video again, it differs from the ingredients list, it says 1&1/4cups flour but the video demos 1cup........🤔😍

PUL Team - June 24, 2021, 6:24 a.m.

Super great eye, Christina! Thank you for pointing this out and for your patience during any confusion this may have caused. When recipe-testing for these cookies, we tried both measurements - 1 cup of flour, and another batch with 1¼ cup flour. Both worked out great! We personally felt the 1 cup flour yielded cookies that were softer and brownie-like, while the 1¼ flour yielded cookies that were a bit more firm and cake-like in texture. We've updated the recipe write-up to make it match the video so as to not cause any more confusion, but either would be alright depending on which consistency you prefer. Thanks again for sharing the inconsistency with us, it's a huge help! 😃

And they were great even though I didn't have the total amount of chocolate, and I swapped a flax egg for a chia egg, and because I didn't have so much chocolate I added cocoa powder to the flour. Yum yum yum!

Hello,

Could I substitute the flour with some healthy options like oat flour?

Thank you.

PUL Team - June 6, 2021, 10:07 p.m.

Hi Ying, thanks for the question! We'd suggest trying half oat and half all-purpose flour to start if possible, and see how you like it. Then try the next time with all oat flour if it turns out well. All-purpose flour has gluten in it, which helps give the classic structure of a cookie. Oat flour might not offer this, but it could be a fun one to experiment with since we haven't had a chance to yet 🙂 If you give it a try do let us know how it goes! 🤗

My cookies come out too hard, I'm probably doing something wrong with the oven as I could never bake biscuits, but the taste is good for who knows how to bake 😄!

PUL Team - June 6, 2021, 12:50 a.m.

Hmm ovens can be tricky since they're all so different! Reducing the heat and using the middle rack may be a good idea to help prevent things from getting too hard or burning easily. Glad you still enjoyed the cookies, Cris 🤗

The cookies are absolutely delicious! I was wondering is it possible to substitute the sugar with something healthier or completely even avoid it?

PUL Team - June 2, 2021, 3:29 p.m.

Hey there, Steffi, thanks for the question! We can't say with certainty as we haven't had a chance to test it out. You could likely avoid or cut it down, although the cookies will be less sweet and may have a slightly different texture. Do let us know if you have a chance to experiment though 🤗

Okay, these are great! I added in some peanut caramel chocolate because I had to use it up and some cashew better for another layed of flavor and they came out great. I baked them in 2 batches and noticed a big difference. The first one I baked for a little too long and they turned out more crunchy, great to dip in milk or tea. The second I baked less and it came out really chewy which I love. Also sprinkled some coarse salt on top of the chewy ones and it made them even more delicious. Thank you for the recipe x

Ooo thanks so much for sharing this with us, Akina! Love the idea to add a sprinkle of salt on top 😍

This Brownie/cookie is amazing ! But i do a mistake, I have used a chia flour instead of ground flax seeds. So the cookie rised not. I don't understand all this instructions I am a french student. But thank's for the receape, next week I will make again this cookie receape. Even if it take a strange texture it's so good !

Hello Mailie! So amazing that you're practicing your language skills. Perhaps an online translator may be helpful? The flax seeds with water form a mixture that helps the cookies stick together. We're so glad that you're enjoying the cookies regardless 😃

Oooh!! I tried these cookies today and it turned out to be soooo perfect. Melt in mouth goodness with just the right amount of crunch. The roasted almonds do a great job in adding layers of flavour. I really enjoyed baking these. Very simple recipe. I wish to pass this down to my friends and family.

This is so lovely to hear, Ishi, and so happy you enjoyed the cookies. Thank you :D

These cookies are AMAZING 🤩 I love making a batch and enjoying them with a nice hot cup of tea.

I didn’t have flaxseeds so I used ground chia seeds and through a little trial and error I’ve found they work as a perfect sub as long as I add 2 extra Tbsps of water as the chia seeds gel up a bit more than flax. So tips for anyone trying to sub out the egg substitute😄

Thank you for this beautiful recipe 🙏🏻 Currently making a batch to bring over to my grandma right now💕
