Sugar and Butter Mixture

3/4 Cup Vegan Butter room temperature
3/4 Cup Coconut Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar

The Big Ole Cookie Ingredients

1 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
3 Cups Gluten Free Rolled Oats
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans optional
2 Tablespoons Flax Meal or Chia Seeds for egg replacement
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Peanut Butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F and make the flax eggs combining 2 tablespoons of flax meal to with 6 tablespoons of water. Whisk the flax meal with the water and let it set.
In a large mixing bowl combine and mix with your hand mixer the sugar, brown sugar and the vegan butter, peanut butter and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
Combine all of the ingredients with the hand mixer or a spatula until you form a batter.
I made 2 batches, the first were very large. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes in the oven at 350F.
The second batch were smaller ones. Bake for 10 minutes in the oven at 350F. Make sure the cookies are 2 inches or so apart. Mine were a little too close but I managed.
Enjoy with the people you love.
