Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies (Small Batch)
These vegan chocolate chip cookies are chewy on the inside with crisp edges and the perfect amount of sweetness!

Servings: 8 cookies
Ingredients
- 26 grams (2 tbsp) melted vegan butter
- 30 grams (2 tbsp) walnut or pecan butter**1 or use more vegan butter
- 30 grams (2½ tbsp) granulated sugar
- 30 grams (2½ tbsp) brown sugar
- 1 tbsp soy milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 80 grams (½ cup + 3 tbsp) all purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt if using unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips/chopped chocolate
Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, walnut butter, and sugars. Add milk and vanilla and stir until well combined.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt (if using). Mix until a dough forms and no dry flour is left. Add a teaspoon of milk if your dough seems too dry.
- Stir in chocolate.
- Cover and transfer the dough to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes (up to 24 hours).
- Take the dough out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Scoop about 2 tbsp of dough and roll into balls. Place 2-inches apart on a baking sheet.
- When the oven is ready, place the cookies in the oven and bake 10-12 minutes (longer for crispier cookies). Halfway through baking, take the cookies out of the oven and bang the pan on the counter a few times - this helps flatten the cookies and create that characteristic crackly top.
- Remove cookies from oven and bang the pan on the counter again. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
1) I like to use half vegan butter and half nut butter for a slightly thicker cookie with a toasty, nutty flavor.
