Sticky Chewy Chocolate Cookies
Makes 20 cookies
These little cookies have a sturdy outside and a wonderful chewy inside. Use your best vegan chocolate for the best flavor – I like Scharffen Berger. They are so good I wish I had made a double batch!
Ingredients:
1 T. ground chia seeds
3 T. water
¾ c. AP flour
1 heaping T. cocoa powder
¼ t. baking soda
¼ t. salt
¼ c. white sugar
¾ c. brown sugar
1 T. vanilla extract
1 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk together the chia seeds and water and set aside. Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Put white and brown sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer and mix until combined. Add in vanilla, then chia seed mixture, and mix well for a couple of minutes. Add in flour mixture and mix just until incorporated, then add in melted chocolate and stir through.
Form batter into 1-inch balls (using wet fingertips, if necessary - they are sticky!) and place onto parchment paper about two inches apart.
Bake for 14 minutes, or until cookies are flattened slightly and the tops begin to crack. Let cool on pan a few minutes before placing on rack to cool completely.
Here are the cooled cookies.
They are really really fantastic and I hope you’ll try my recipe.
On another note, I’m so thrilled to have gotten an invitation to a food blogger event tomorrow night. The invitation read:
Local and national food and wine bloggers will get a chance to eat, drink, mingle and celebrate the vibrant food scene in Central Texas at the first ever Austin360 Food and Wine Blogger Bash, sponsored by Whole Foods Market and the Go Texan program of the Texas Department of Agriculture. Due to space limitations, this is a private party by invitation only.
I’ll try to post later this week to let you know how the party went, plus I’ve got lots of food to share from the weekend, and more planned for this week. Whew!
See you soon!

chia seed recipes keep coming up so I'm just going to have to get them . . . and well, you added chocolate so that's that really.
Sticky and chewy connected to chocolate and cookie — I'm convinced. These sound great.
Hope you have a great time (and lots of food you can eat!) at the party.

These look great. I am curious about the chia seeds. I have been tempted to get them at Whole Foods but am never sure what all to use them for. Do they work well as an egg substitute in most baked goods? What else do you do with them?
COOKIES! And they're chocolate. I'll definitely be trying them!
My father is a huge fan of cooled cookies and I always try to bake one for him whenever we see my parents. He has yet to be fully blown away by any of the recipes i've tried. Simplicity is key, and yours looks perfect! Can't wait to try it. thank you for shearing your post.
This dish looks so beautiful, so delicious with the colours. Can't wait to see your posting, my mouth is watering. Will try it out soon. Thanks so much for sharing.
