There's chocolate in every bite of these eggless double chocolate cookies! They're crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, loaded with chocolate chips. They are a breeze to whip up!
Make the flax egg by combining flax meal with water in a small bowl. Mix and set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to thicken.
1 flax egg
Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl in the microwave and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the avocado oil, coconut sugar, vanilla, and flax egg.
½ cup unsalted butter, 2 tablespoon avocado oil, 1 cup coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 flax egg
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda together. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ⅓ at a time, mixing with a rubber spatula until just combined.
1 cup all purpose flour, ⅔ cup dutch-processed cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda
Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula, scraping the sides of the bowl.
½ cup chocolate chips
Cover and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
With a medium cookie scoop, scoop 8 cookie dough balls on each pan about 2 inches apart. Press a few more chocolate chips into each ball if desired.
Bake one pan at a time for 11-13 minutes. Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Enjoy.

Notes
Cocoa powder: Use regular cocoa powder if you don't have dutch process.Flour: Measure with a kitchen scale for accuracy.
