Classic Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

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

2.In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.

3.Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.

4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

6.Fold in the vegan chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula.

7.Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

8.Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look set but still soft.

9.Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10.Enjoy your chewy, buttery vegan chocolate chip cookies with a glass of plant-based milk or your favorite beverage.
