Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (use gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup vegan butter (softened, not melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (of choice)
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice *See notes.

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, beat together the softened vegan butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Using a large cookie scoop or spoon, drop generous portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
