Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Natural Gelling Agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Plant-Based Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar (natural)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (natural)
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (natural)

Mix-Ins

  • 1 1/2 cups Plant-Based Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and natural gelling agent to create an even mixture that ensures uniform texture and even baking.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Using an electric mixer or hand whisk, beat the softened plant-based butter with brown sugar (natural) and granulated sugar (natural) until light and fluffy, incorporating air to achieve softness in the cookies.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract (natural) one at a time, making sure each is fully combined to add richness and flavor depth to the dough.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing, which helps maintain a tender and chewy crumb.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the plant-based chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution for melty chocolate pockets in every bite.
  6. Chill the Dough: Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to allow the natural gelling agent and butter to firm up, improving texture during baking.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but centers remain soft to preserve the chewy finish.

Notes

  • Use softened but not melted plant-based butter for the ideal creaming process.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies soft and chewy.
  • Chilling the dough is important to maintain cookie shape and texture.
  • Brown sugar (natural) is preferred for moisture and deeper flavor.
  • Remove cookies as soon as edges set to avoid a dry, crunchy texture.
