I found a book at the library – Veggie Lovers Sriracha Recipes. Well, I just had to check it out and see!
I found a number of recipes to try, I started with these cookies!
It was also interesting to see how to make cookies without an egg or flour! I had done it without flour and used whipped egg whites, but here we went another step!
The only reason i call it vegan-ish is because i like regular chocolate chips, so that pulls it out of that camp, but you can do it how you like.

Ingredients
- I tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 3 tablespoons water
- I cup natural creamy peanut butter, stirred well
- ⅓ cup Grade B maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a small bowl, mix the flaxseeds and water and let sit for several minutes, until a gel forms.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flax gel, peanut butter, maple syrup, Sriracha, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. (The dough will be more moist and sticky than typical cookie dough, but it works out great!)
- Add the chocolate chips
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about r½ inches apart.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Let cool on the pan for 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire cooling rack and let cool to room temperature.
Verdict:
These were interesting and fun, but don’t last very long and should be stored in a structured container.
They didn’t spread much so more could be put on a tray.
