Packed with rich chocolate chips and a hint of vanilla, these cookies will be a hit at any gathering—or even just as a sweet treat to enjoy on a cozy evening. Let’s dive into this easy, foolproof recipe!

***Ingredients***

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup coconut oil (melted) or vegan butter
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, or your choice)
  • ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips

***Instructions***  Cook Time (**Prep Time: 10 mins.**Cook Time: 10 minutes**Total Time: 20 minutes)

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Cream Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate large bowl, whisk to 1gether the melted coconut oil (or vegan butter), brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. If the dough feels too dry, add a splash of plant-based milk to help it come together.

  5. Add Chocolate Chips:
    Fold in the vegan chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.

  6. Form Cookies:
    Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press down each dough ball to flatten slightly, as they won’t spread much during baking.

  7. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are just set. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

  8. Cool and Enjoy:
    Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy with a glass of your favorite plant-based milk or a cup of coffee!

***Health Benefits***

  • Coconut Oil (or Vegan Butter): Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for energy and metabolism. Vegan butter, often made from plant oils, is lower in saturated fat compared to traditional butter.
  • Plant-Based Milk: A great source of vitamins and minerals without the dairy, plant-based milks like almond and oat milk are typically rich in calcium and vitamin D, important for bone health.
  • Vegan Chocolate Chips: Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and improve heart health.
