Vegan Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
Vegan Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies rely on a balance of fats from vegan butter and oil, creating a soft, tender crumb with light crispness at the edges. The combination of granulated and brown sugar offers sweetness and moisture, which helps maintain the cookies' softness after baking. Using baking soda and salt provides leavening and seasoning that allow the dough to rise modestly and develop an even texture. Incorporating vegan chocolate chips spreads rich, melted chocolate bits throughout each cookie.
The dough is mixed thoroughly but should not be overworked to avoid gummy or dense cookies. Baking them at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes produces a golden outside with chewy centers. Flattening the dough slightly before baking helps with even cooking and cookie shape. Cooling the cookies before handling helps them set properly.
These cookies can be served on their own for snacks or desserts, pairing well with plant-based milk or coffee. Their soft texture makes them enjoyable fresh or after a day stored in an airtight container, preserving their tender bite.
Key tips include measuring flour by fluffing and spooning to avoid heaviness and not overmixing the dough to prevent toughness. For even softer cookies, creaming vegan butter with sugar before adding other ingredients is recommended, and slightly reducing baking time may help keep softness higher.
Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or canola oil
- ¼ cup of water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, vegan butter, oil, water, and vanilla extract. We recommend mixing with a handheld electric mixer if you have one. If not, old-fashioned whisking will do the trick.
- Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the vegan butter mixture and thoroughly combine.
- Stir in chocolate chips, and pecans (if using).
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten them out with a spatula.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden and crispy around the edges. Allow to cool before eating.
Notes
- Fluff and spoon the flour into the measuring cup to avoid dry, dense cookies.
- Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent a dense, gummy texture and uncontrolled spreading.
- Creaming vegan butter with sugar before mixing can help yield softer cookies.
- Consider reducing baking time by a minute or two for a softer final cookie.
