In a medium size bowl, make your flax egg by whisking 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water. Place the bowl in the fridge and allow the “egg” to gel for about 5 minutes.

Once your egg is ready, use a hand mixer and whisk the flax egg until slightly frothy. Add in the peanut butter, maple syrup, baking powder and optional cinnamon and mix until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.

Drop the batter in 1.5 tablespoon amounts onto your baking sheets. Use a paper towel to press down the dough to form normal looking cookies. The cookies won't spread out much.
Bake the cookies 8-12 minutes, switching the pans half way through, until the edges are golden brown.

Let cool and enjoy!
