directions
Heat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, flax seed meal, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate small bowl, combine chia seeds with water to create an egg substitute. Stir and let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large bowl, beat the Crystal Margarine, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chia egg and vanilla until combined. Add the dry ingredients and mix just until a dough forms. Fold in the oats, chocolate chips, raisins, coconut, and macadamia nuts until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into 1 ½” balls (or heaping tablespoons) and place them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Press lightly to flatten.
Bake for about 12 minutes (rotating your baking sheets halfway) or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
