The best vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe EVER! Chewy edges, gooey center, rich chocolate and flaky sea salt. 

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup vegan butter, softened

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons nondairy milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate (50-70%)*

flake sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix: Cream together the softened vegan butter, light brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy. This should take about 1 minute. Beat in the nondairy milk, vanilla, cornstarch, baking soda and salt until ingredients are evenly distributed. Beat in the flour until just combined. Do not over-mix. Fold in the chocolate.
  2. Chill: Cover the bowl of dough with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. Prepared cookie dough can chill for up to 48 hours.
  3. Prep: While dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Bake: Remove cookie dough from the refrigerator and place 2-3 tablespoon balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Do not over-crowd the sheet! Bake for 11-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
