Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups (250 g) All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fine salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) Dairy-free vegan butter, softened but not melted
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) Granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) Packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) Unsweetened plant milk
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (255-270 g) Dairy-free chocolate chips or chocolate chunks

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
  4. Mix in the plant milk and vanilla extract. The mixture may look slightly curdled, which is normal.
  5. Add the dry ingredients and mix only until no dry flour remains. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
  6. Portion the dough into rounded tablespoons and arrange the portions about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Chill the portions for about 30 minutes if the dough is soft or spreading.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden while the centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. They will firm as they cool.

Notes

For reliable results, use firm vegan butter from a block or stick rather than a very soft tub spread. Measure flour by weight when possible, or spoon it into a measuring cup and level it. Check chocolate labels for milk, whey, or shared-equipment warnings when strict dairy avoidance is important. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.
