Heat oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a small bowl, make the flax egg and set aside.
With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat the Earth Balance until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and cane sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Beat in the flax egg.
Beat in the remaining ingredients just until combined and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape balls of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack for another 10 minutes.
Notes
For a crispier cookie edge, use 1/3 Cup Earth Balance and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Alternatively, for a softer cookie, use 1/2 cup Earth Balance and no oil.For information on Earth Balance products: http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/
