In order to feel trendy, I sometimes like to dabble in chia. I made these cookies with chia because I wanted to be able to eat the batter. What I didn't expect was that they. are. amazing. And healthy.
If you don't have chia, you could substitute flax seed or probably even wheat germ. All of these things are emulsifiers when added to water, which is one of the main reasons that people usually bake with eggs. The two sticks of butter don't hurt, either, but I'm sure you could replace them with vegan butter. Whatever you have in your kitchen, go! Make these cookies now.
