Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract

Sugars

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (vegan)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened plant-based butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. This incorporates air, giving your cookies a tender rise.
  2. Add Vanilla and Wet Ingredients: Mix in the natural vanilla extract evenly into the creamed butter and sugars to infuse the dough with a warm, fragrant aroma.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently to keep the dough soft and smooth without overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the vegan chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the dough for melty chocolate pockets in every bite.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes. This controls spreading during baking and allows flavor development for chewier cookies.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing evenly. Bake until the edges are just golden and the centers remain soft, about 10-12 minutes, for the ideal chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use soft or dark brown sugar to enhance chewiness and flavor.
  • Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are set but centers are still soft for optimal chew.
  • Chill the dough properly to prevent excessive spreading and improve texture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing.
  • For extra chew, try substituting part of the all-purpose flour with bread flour or rolled oats.
