Servings: 24 cookies
Calories: 199kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup vegan butter (brought up to room temperature)
- ¾ cup organic sugar
- ¾ cup organic brown sugar
- ¼ cup unflavored and unsweetened non-dairy milk
- ¼ teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 10 ounces vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat the mixture until the ingredients are completely combined and creamy.
- Stir the milk and vinegar together in a small cup, then add them to the butter mixture along with the vanilla. Beat the mixture again until combined.
- Begin adding the flour mixture to the butter mixture, adding about a cup at a time and beating it in before the next addition.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge. Chill the dough for 30 to 60 minutes, until it has firmed up a bit but isn't rock solid.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded 2 tablespoonfuls* of the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Place the baking sheets into the oven and bake the cookies until the dough has spread out and the edges are just barely beginning to brown, 9 to 10 minutes**.
- Transfer the baking sheets to cooling racks and allow the cookies to cool until set before removing them from the baking sheets.
Notes
*This will give you large cookies. For smaller cookies, use 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of dough for each mound — this will give you 3 to 3 ½ dozen cookies.
**This will give you soft cookies. For crispier cookies, bake for 11 to 12 minutes, until the tops are slightly browned.
