Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Rich and fudgy cookies that are loaded with chocolate chunks. This recipe is easy to make with common kitchen ingredients and is eggless, dairy free and completely vegan!
Equipment
- Standing Mixer OR Hand Mixer
- cookie sheets
- Parchment or reusable baking sheet
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seed + 3 tablespoons water
- ½ cup room temperature vegan butter (stick variety)
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- ⅔ cup light or dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup natural cocoa powder
- 1 cup all purpose flour 120g *for gluten free swap 1:1 gluten free flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ cup dairy free chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together ground flax and water to prepare your flax egg, set to the side to thicken. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) and whisk well to combine, set aside.
- In a stand mixer or a large bowl add butter and sugars. Beat together on medium speed until smooth and creamy. (You can use a standing mixer or a hand mixer for this!)
- Add prepared flax egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat on low until just combined.
- Add dry ingredient mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, no dry flour should remain in the bowl. (You can do this step by hand or with your mixer)
- Mix in chocolate chips. Roll 2-3 tablespoons of dough into balls and place them evenly spaced onto your prepared cookie sheet. Do not flatten the dough balls, leave them tall and large. (Size depends on how big you like your cookies! You can also use a cookie scoop for this step.)
- Bake on the middle rack for 11-12 minutes. Cookies will look soft and under baked when you are removing them from the oven, that's how you want it! Let them cool 5-10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
Notes
Tips for Prettier Cookies-
- When you remove the cookies from the oven you can carefully & gently press a few more chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie.
- While cookies are still hot take a wide mouth mason jar, glass or ramekin and gently place face down over each cookie, moving the glass in a circular motion around the edges of the cookie. Doing this will give you perfectly round cookies with clean edges.
