About 24 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Vegan butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown sugar, packed
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 2 cups Vegan chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons Non-dairy milk (almond, soy, or oat)

Get Started

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Together

In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.

Add Wet Ingredients

Beat in the vanilla extract and non-dairy milk until well combined.

Combine Dry and Wet

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Add Chocolate Chips

Stir in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Bake

Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers will still look slightly soft, which is what you want.

Cool & Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
