Yield: 12-14 cookies
Diet: Vegan

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour or gf oat flour
1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar-free brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (code HEALTHYHELPER saves $$!)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for topping
1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Press down on each cookie dough ball with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on each cookie for that perfect sweet-salty contrast.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for the Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don’t overbake – they’ll continue to firm up as they cool.
