Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 cup coconut oil, solid but scoopable
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional Add-in:
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie baking conditions.
- Utilize an electric mixer to whip coconut oil and brown sugar into a light, airy consistency, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
- Introduce almond milk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, gently incorporating until the ingredients form a uniform liquid blend.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate vessel, whisking thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Merge the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring carefully to prevent excessive mixing and maintain a tender cookie texture.
- Gently integrate chocolate chips and optional walnuts throughout the dough, ensuring an even spread of delectable morsels.
- Carefully portion the dough using a tablespoon, strategically placing each dollop two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading.
- Place the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven, baking for 8-10 minutes until the edges develop a subtle golden hue while maintaining a soft center.
- Allow the freshly baked cookies to rest on the baking sheet for five minutes, facilitating initial setting and stabilization.
- Complete the cooling process by transferring the cookies to a wire rack, enabling them to reach room temperature and achieve optimal texture.
Notes
- Swap coconut oil with refined olive oil for a lighter taste that still ensures richness and crisp texture.
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top after baking to enhance the chocolate’s depth and create a gourmet bakery-style finish.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create thicker, chewier cookies.
- For gluten-free adaptation, replace all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar texture and structure.
