Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1/2 cup natural brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend with natural gelling agent
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (plant-based)
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk, room temperature
- 3/4 cup plant-based chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by softening your plant-based butter at room temperature. Measure out all dry ingredients including gluten-free flour blend with natural gelling agent, baking soda, and salt, and have your sugars and plant-based chocolate chips ready to go.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened plant-based butter with natural brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step creates a smooth base that helps cookies rise and stay tender.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based milk and natural vanilla extract (plant-based) until fully combined. This liquid addition balances the dough, creating softness in the finished cookie.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the gluten-free flour blend with natural gelling agent, baking soda, and salt. Mix gently just until the dough comes together overmixing can make cookies tough, so take care to preserve their softness.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the plant-based chocolate chips for even distribution without breaking them up too much, ensuring chocolate chunks in every bite.
- Scoop and Bake: Place spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (350°F) for about 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. This resting period helps cookies set to the perfect chewy texture.
Notes
- Use softened plant-based butter and room temperature plant-based milk for smooth mixing and even texture.
- Do not overmix the dry ingredients to avoid dense or tough cookies.
- For deeper flavor and less spread, refrigerate dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Use quality plant-based chocolate chips that melt well and have great flavor.
- Remove cookies when edges are slightly golden but centers look soft for the perfect chewy bite.
