Step 1

PREPARE: Preheat your oven to 325F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Then, mix the water and flaxseed in a small bowl to make your flax egg. Set it the flax egg aside to thicken while you start your dough.

Step 2

MAKE THE DOUGH: In a very large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugars. Add the peanut butter and flax egg and continue mixing until completely combined. Add baking soda, salt, vanilla, + ½ cup of the flour. Mix well. Slowly add the rest of the flour, ½ cup at a time, mixing after each addition. The result should be a crumbly (but not dry) dough that can easily be rolled into balls.

Step 3

FORM YOUR COOKIES: Then, use clean dry hands to roll the mixture into 48 1-inch compact balls. Place each cookie ball on the parchment-lined baking sheet at least 1 inch apart. Bake these cookies in your 325F preheated oven for 13-15 minutes.

Step 4

COOL + SERVE: Allow the cookies to cool completely before eating them and enjoy!
