Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp molasses
1/2 cup vegan butter (I use soy free Earth Balance)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I use unsweetened almond milk)
1 tbsp ground chia seeds
1 1/2 cups GF AP flour (I use Pamela's Artisan Blend)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp smoked salt (applewood is my favorite)
1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Mini Chips)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment
In a big bowl, mix the sugar, molasses, butter, vanilla, milk, and chia seeds until creamy and smooth
Add in flour, baking soda, and smoked salt and mix until just combined - do not over mix!
Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough

Makes about 15 big cookies
Vicious Variations:
Add in some roasted walnuts for a crunchy texture
Not a fan of smoky flavor? Sub sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for a more classic flavor
Sound Mate:
H.E.A.T - Freedom Rock
This record, just like these cookies, have a twist on a nostalgic feeling. For me it's hair metal meets boy band. 100% perfection.
