White Chocolate, Coconut, and Cocoa Eggless Cookies

I found the base for this recipe online when looking for vegan chocolate chip cookies. I've made it about 4 times now, each time trying something different, and this seems the best to me. Neither All-propose nor self-rising flour made the cookies expand, but all rye flour did it, and beautifully. They also add a little bit of a nutty spicy flavor that really makes the cocoa powder in the cookie shine. The coconut shavings add great gritty sugariness to the bottom of the cookie where it gets burnt on the sheet, and the white chocolate really smooths the flavors together. The Maca powder is not really necessary and adds little to no discernible flavor, but it's so healthy that I might as well use it. The only draw back to this recipe is that it's not totally vegan (I haven't found vegan white chocolate ships)

Steps

45 mins

1

Preheat your oven to 300°F
2

Into a small bowl, pour the warm water onto the ground flax and allow to sit for at least 2 minutes.
3

Mix your dry stuff together into a big bowl (do not use an electric mixer, use a whisk or a spatula).
4

Mix your wet stuff and your egg replacer together into a separate big bowl. May take a few minutes and some muscle to get it well mixed (do not use an electric mixer, use a whisk or a spatula).
5

Slowly mix the wet stuff while adding the dry stuff. Then add the chocolate chips and coconut and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
6

Using wet hands, roll a chunk into a golf ball sized ball and place on a greased cookie sheet, then pat down into a cookie shape. Continue until all the mix has been used, and each ball is 1-2 inches away from neighboring balls. These will increase their size by about 50% when the baking is done.
7

Bake for 18-20 minutes. Then remove for the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
