Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The recipe combines coconut oil with brown and granulated sugars beaten until creamy, then eggs and vanilla extract are added to form a smooth dough. Gluten-free or all-purpose flour, along with baking soda and sea salt, is incorporated before folding in dairy-free chocolate chips. Chilling the dough for at least one hour helps the ingredients bind and controls spreading when baked.
The cookies are portioned evenly with a scoop and baked at 375°F until the edges turn golden while the centers remain set but soft. Cooling briefly on the pan before transferring to a rack allows them to finish baking and develop their final texture. This method results in cookies that are tender with crispy edges and a soft middle.
These cookies can be stored at room temperature for several days or refrigerated for up to a week. They also freeze well when individually wrapped, making them convenient for batch preparation and longer storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut oil room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 egg
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour or all purpose flour, gluten free 1 to 1
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips dairy free
Instructions
- First, add coconut oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract to a stand mixer or large bowl. Beat until creamy.
- Add in eggs and beat until combined.
- Add in gluten free flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir to combine.
- Then, fold in chocolate chips. Place mixing bowl in fridge for at least 1 hour to chill.
- When it is time to bake, preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan. Place at least 3 inches from each other since these cookies spread.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until edges of cookie are golden and middles are set.
- Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes. Then remove to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour to improve cookie texture and prevent excessive spreading.
- You may use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor if preferred.
- Either gluten-free 1-to-1 flour or regular all-purpose flour works in this recipe.
- Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to form evenly sized cookies for uniform baking.
- Bake until edges are golden and centers are just set; avoid overbaking to keep cookies tender.
- Store baked cookies covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Freeze individual cookies wrapped well for longer storage.
