Combine the flax meal and warm water in a small dish. whisk together and let sit for at least three minutes to gel up a bit.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flax mixture (flax egg), vegan butter, peanut butter, sugars and vanilla. Beat until mostly smooth and fluffy.
Add in the flour, salt and baking powder. Beat again until fluffy. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Transfer the dough to a small bowl (or keep in the large bowl if your fridge can handle it) and chill the dough for at least fifteen minutes before using.
While the dough is chilling you can preheat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove the dough from the fridge, it should be nice and chilled. Roll into small balls and place on the parchment. Repeat until all the dough is used. Press down on the cookies using a fork, to get a criss-cross pattern in the center.
Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for two minutes until transferring to a cooling rack to finish cooling. Serve warm or store leftovers in sealed baggies for later.
