From the Cook
1/2
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Instructions
1
Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. Set aside.
2
Place the coconut oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, nondairy milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and combined.
3
Add the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt to the bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula until a smooth dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4
Divide the cookie dough into 20 balls, using roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough for each, and arrange them spaced 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Transfer the sheets to the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Alternately, freeze the dough balls on a small tray or large plate, then transfer to the baking sheets after freezing.
5
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
6
Bake the cookies on middle rack of oven until puffy and golden brown at the edges, 14-16 minutes.
7
Check to see that cookies are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
8
Allow the cookies to rest on the sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Your Sugars and Oil 🍯Cream the coconut oil with both granulated and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy, which creates air pockets for softer, chewier cookies without eggs.
- Chill Dough Before Baking 🧊Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and ensure thick, chewy cookies with concentrated vanilla and chocolate flavors.
- Use Melted Coconut Oil Strategically 🥥If your coconut oil is solid, melt it first then let it cool slightly before mixing to prevent the nondairy milk from curdling and ensure proper emulsification.
- Don't Overmix Your Dry Ingredients 🌪️Gently fold the flour, baking soda, and cornstarch mixture into the wet ingredients to avoid overdeveloping gluten, which would make cookies tough rather than tender.
- Bake Until Barely Golden 🍪Remove cookies from the oven when edges are set but the center still looks slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking on the hot pan and stay perfectly chewy as they cool.
