THE ULTIMATE CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
I think any famous person would love to have some chewy gooey chocolate chip cookies! :) This is my go-to cookie recipe and it’s been a hit with vegans and non-vegans alike. I call this “the ultimate chewy chocolate chip cookies” recipe because I have not found one that is as good as this one in both texture and taste. I originally came across it on Compassion Over Killing but I can’t find it there anymore so I am glad I wrote it down and can share it because it’s too good not to! The cookies are perfect while still warm with a cold glass of almond milk or as an ice cream cookie sandwich. It’s super easy and in less than half an hour your home can be filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies!
THE ULTIMATE CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 50 Tablespoon Sized Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup (8 oz or 2 sticks) of softened vegan butter (my favorite is Canoleo Margarine or Earth Balance)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup non-dairy milk (I usually use soy or almond)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt (see notes)
1 tsp baking SODA
12 oz dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Pre-heat the over to 350F.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened vegan butter and both sugars with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla. Mix well. Scrape the bowl and mix for a few more seconds.
Add the flour, salt (if using), and baking SODA. Mix until most of the flour is gone and the dough has formed. Switching to a wooden spoon or spatula, scrap the bowl and mix the dough until all the flour is incorporated.
Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with a tablespoon. Make sure each scoop has enough chocolate chips and flatten slightly.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. (See notes.)
Remove the parchment paper from the baking sheet and onto a wire rack to cool.
Once the cookies have cooled, remove from parchment paper and serve.
