Ingredients
  

For the cookies

  • 2 tbsp. flax seeds, ground
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • 4 tbsp. cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 c. natural cane sugar
  • 1/4 c. vegan butter
  • 1/2 c. cashews
  • 3/4 c. water
  • 1/3 c. peanut butter
  • 1 c. rolled oats
  • 1/2 c. walnuts
  • 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips

For the frosting

  • 1/2 c. peanut butter
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tsp. almond milk

Instructions
 

  • Heat your oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the flax with 6 tbsp. warm water, stir well, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and sugar.
  • In a high-powered blender, blend the cashews and water. Slowly add the cashew mixture to the butter mixture, stirring well. Add the flax mixture and peanut butter, and stir until combined.
  • Slowly add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until fully combined. Fold in the oats, walnuts, and chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the cookie batter onto the prepared baking sheets, into 1" balls, flatten gently. Bake at 350 for 16 minutes, remove from the oven, and cool completely.
  • Make the icing: using a hand mixer, combine the peanut butter with the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time. Add in the vanilla, and then the almond milk, adding 1 tsp. at a time until desired consistency.
  • When the cookies are cool, ice the bottoms of the cookies with the peanut butter frosting. Form into sandwiches, and enjoy!
