Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour (use gluten free 1-to-1 flour if gluten free)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raw cane sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and sea salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the vegan butter with brown sugar and raw cane sugar until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Then add the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients and stir gently until fully incorporated. Carefully fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips to evenly distribute them within the dough.
- Chill Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow it to firm up and flavors to meld.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Remove the chilled dough from the fridge and let it soften for about 10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
- Shape Cookies: Using a scoop or spoon, portion out 2-3 tablespoons of dough, rolling each into a smooth ball. Arrange the dough balls spaced on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes. Remove the cookies and let them sit on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes to finish baking and set.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool thoroughly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For gluten-free version, substitute with a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
- Ensure vegan butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading and improves flavor development.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet to continue cooking slightly and set their shape.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips are dairy-free and suitable for this vegan recipe.
