Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut oil, solid but scoopable
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream the coconut oil and brown sugar until fluffy. This takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Stir in the almond milk and vanilla extract, blending until just combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and optional walnuts until evenly distributed.
- Scoop the dough by the tablespoon onto your prepared sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden but the centers remain soft.
- Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- For softer cookies, remove from the oven while slightly underbaked—they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help prevent excessive spreading.
