Vegan chocolate cookies loaded with dark chocolate chunks and fresh, orange flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/4 c all purpose flour

1/2 c cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp sea salt

1 c vegan butter

3/4 c light brown sugar

3/4 c sugar

1/4 c orange juice

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp orange zest

1 1/2 c chopped dark chocolate or nondairy chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and sea salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat together vegan butter, light brown sugar, sugar, orange juice, vanilla extract and orange zest using an electric stand or hand mixer. Do this for about a minute or until light and fluffy.

2. Slowly begin to beat flour mixture into butter mixture until cookie dough comes together and there are no longer any dry ingredients visible. Do not over-mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set in fridge for at least 30 minutes to chill.

3. While dough is chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Take dough out of the fridge and begin to form cookies taking about two tablespoons of dough at a time. Roll into a ball between your hands and place on prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. You should be able to fit about six to eight at a time.

4. Place baking sheet on center rack of preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to set on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack.
