Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup coconut oil extra-virgin or refined
  • 1 cup organic sugar or vegan cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup non-dairy milk I prefer vanilla soy milk or cashew milk.
  • 1 T vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/4-1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips Put the amount you desire. I usually put 1/4 cup so there is more cookie than chocolate.

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 Stand Mixer with paddle attachment (if not making cookies by hand)
  • 2 non-stick baking sheets
  • 2 silicone baking mats or parchment paper
  • 1 wire rack

Method
 

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  2. Cream together the coconut oil and sugar until it resembles caramel, approx. 2 minutes.
  3. Add the non-dairy milk and vanilla extract and mix together for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix together (either by hand or using stand mixer).
  5. Once it resembles cookie dough (approx 1-2 minutes), add the chocolate chips.
  6. Form golf ball sized balls and place on silicone mats/parchment paper on non-stick baking sheet. Use your palm to slightly flatten the balls of dough.
  7. Bake in 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. They may look a little undone, but they will continue cooking and firm up once they cool on the baking sheets.
  8. After cooling down for 5 minutes, use a spatula to remove the cookies from the baking sheets and place on wire rack.
