Main Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature when your dough is ready. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to avoid sticking and provide easy cleanup.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plant-based butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat them together until the texture is light and fluffy, creating the perfect base for tender cookies.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in plant-based milk, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural vanilla extract. These add moisture, subtle savoriness, and richness to balance the sweetness beautifully.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth dough without overmixing.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Finally, fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. This guarantees every cookie will have that delicious melty chocolate experience.
- Scoop and Bake: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look set but soft.
- Cooling: Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This final step ensures they finish setting with a perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients to help blend everything smoothly.
- Measure flour by scooping with a spoon and leveling off for accuracy.
- Rotate the baking pan midway through baking to ensure even browning.
