Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (plant-based)

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Begin by beating the plant-based butter with light brown sugar (natural) and granulated sugar until the mixture is creamy and pale. This process is essential for achieving that soft, chewy texture in the finished cookies.
  2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Next, mix in the natural vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar. These ingredients intensify the flavor and assist in giving the dough the right tenderness.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent. This ensures even distribution so every cookie rises uniformly.
  4. Mix the Dough: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Once the dough comes together, gently fold in the chocolate chips for luscious pockets of melty chocolate in every bite.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This step enhances flavor and helps cookies hold their shape while baking.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm for the ultimate chewy experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for better creaming with sugars, yielding a smoother dough for soft cookies.
  • Do not overmix the dough; stir until just combined to avoid tough cookies.
  • Measure flour correctly by lightly spooning it into the measuring cup to prevent dense dough.
  • Chill the dough for improved texture and richer flavor development.
  • Bake on parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best melty, indulgent chocolate experience.
