Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These yummy chocolate chip cookies require just a handful of simple ingredients and a few easy steps.

Prep Time: 15

Cook Time: 12

Total Time: 27

Servings: cookies

Ingredients

¼ cup (57 g) vegan butter diced
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) soy milk or other non-dairy milk
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour or plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt optional, if vegan butter is unsalted
⅔ cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the vegan butter and sugar until combined using a wooden spoon.
Add soy milk and vanilla extract, stir together, and then beat the mixture with an electric whisk for 2 minutes until fluffy.
Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, and stir into a dough, using your hands at the end to bring it together.
Roll the dough into 1½ inch (4 cm) balls. Place them on a large lined baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between them. Press down gently to slightly flatten the dough balls.
Bake for around 12 minutes until the edges are light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and leave the cookies to cool for at least five minutes on the tray, as they will be still soft. They will flatten slightly and firm up as they cool.

Notes

You will get best results when baking if you weigh your ingredients with a kitchen scale, which we highly recommend. If using cups, use the spoon and level method to measure your flour.
