Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons beetroot powder or natural red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1 cup coconut sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water (flax egg)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the flax egg by whisking together ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl, setting it aside for 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, beetroot powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened vegan butter and coconut sugar together until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the flax egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the butter mixture and beat until combined.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  7. Fold in the vegan white chocolate chips gently.
  8. Use a cookie scoop to form balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets with space between each.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until slightly soft in the center but set at the edges.
  10. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Ensure vegan butter is at room temperature for proper creaming. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes can help prevent spreading and enhance flavor.
