Total Time14 minutes
Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar plus 3 tablespoons
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or dairy-free milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and mix until incorporated.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, reserving a few to press on top of the cookie dough balls if desired.
  • If you prefer thicker cookies, cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour (optional).
  • Using your hands or a scoop, form 16 equal balls of dough and place 8 on each prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and beginning to brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
