  • Servings 40

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup refined coconut oil, melted
  • 2/3 cup organic granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed organic brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 bag (10 oz) vegan semisweet chocolate chips (1 1/2 cups)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, mix coconut oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar until well mixed. Stir in almond milk and vanilla.
  • 2
    Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by slightly rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • 3
    Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until edges are light brown and tops look set. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets. Remove to cooling rack; cool completely. Store in tightly covered container.

  • Melt solid coconut oil in a glass measuring cup in 10-second bursts in the microwave.
  • Because coconut oil has a tolerance for high temperatures, it’s generally a good substitute for other fats like shortening and butter. It also makes a good pan prep fat, since it is solid at room.
  • Curious about vegan chocolate? While cocoa beans come from a plant and are inherently vegan, as they are processed into commercial chocolate other ingredients can be added that are not. Look for the high-quality chocolate that is produced with only cocoa butter and sugar (sometimes lecithin and vanilla are added—both are okay.) There are also milk chocolates that are made with non-dairy substitutes like almond or rice milk.
  • The granule size of organic sugar can really vary depending on the producer. Be sure to use a fine crystal sugar for the cookies, rather than turbinado or other raw sugars, for the best texture in the cookies. Coarse crystal sugars won’t dissolve as easily in the dough.
  • Cooking Vegan? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan. Products and ingredient sources can change.
