Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe creates a classic cookie texture through a blend of palm shortening and coconut sugar, which yields richness and sweetness. Coconut milk and vanilla extract add moisture and aroma, while almond flour and baking soda provide structure and leavening. Dark chocolate chips are folded in for melty chocolate bits throughout the cookies.
After mixing wet and dry ingredients separately, combining them gently, and baking on parchment paper, the cookies develop golden edges and soft centers. If the cookies don’t flatten naturally, tapping the baking tray after baking helps them spread for a more uniform cookie shape.
This recipe produces cookies that are good for snacking any time, suitable for vegan diets. They maintain a good texture and flavor by avoiding coconut oil in favor of palm shortening or vegan butter for better structure.

- 3/4 cup palm shortening organic, or vegan butter, don't use coconut oil

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drop heaping tablespoons of dough, evenly spaced. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are turning golden brown.
