Ingredients

  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup of brown sugar
  • ½ cup of vegan butter
  • ¼ cup of vegetable or canola oil
  • ¼ cup of water
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 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.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the vegan butter mixture and thoroughly combine.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips, and pecans (if using).
  5. Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly flatten them out with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden and crispy around the edges. Allow to cool before eating.

Notes

  • Measure the flour properly: Too much can lead to dense, dry, crumbly cookies. For the best results, fluff it in its bag, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level with a knife.
  • Don’t over-mix the dough: If you overwork the gluten in the cookie dough, it can become dense and gummy. It also affects spread.
  • For even softer cookies: Cream the vegan butter and sugar and optionally reduce the baking time by a minute or two.
