Cooking mode
  1. Whisk together the flaxseed and water in a small bowl and set aside for 15 minutes to thicken.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar until light and creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and flax egg.
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate. Transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Prepare a large baking tray.
  6. Scoop out spoonfuls of dough and roll into a ball. Place on the tray, leaving space between each cookie, then lightly flatten. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges. Leave to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  7. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
