Description
These really are the Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies! You won’t be able to eat just one!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour, GF AP flour would probably work too
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup softened vegan butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar or granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 2 minutes)
- 3/4 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips, or more if you like!
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your vegan egg and set aside until ready to use. Mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl.
- Next, add your softened butter to a large bowl, along with the brown and white sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is completely softened at room temperature.
- Add in the vegan egg and vanilla extract and beat again until everything is combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture and beat until everything comes together and you can easily form the batter into a ball.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mix until they’re completely incorporated.
- You can bake these cookies immediately if you want to, but I prefer to chill the dough for at least an hour before baking. Dough can be chilled up to about 5 days in the refrigerator if needed.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Form the dough into balls, any size you like, and place on a baking sheet. Bake cookies until the bottom is just browned but the top still looks a little bit underdone (they will finished cooking as they cool and this will ensure that they are gooey on the inside). Cookies will take about 10-20 minutes total, depending on how big you make them. I like to take the cookies out after about 10 minutes and bang the cookie tray on the top of the oven so that they aren’t quite as thick. Sometimes I do that a few times during the cooking process.
- Remove cookies from the oven and place on a cooling rack until ready to eat.
Notes
Recipe makes 12-20 cookies, it just depends on how big you make them.
