Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour (use gluten free 1-to-1 flour if gluten free)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup vegan butter, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup raw cane sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 egg yolk, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, arrowroot powder, and sea salt until fully combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the vegan butter, brown sugar, and raw cane sugar together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Then add the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the Enjoy Life dairy-free chocolate chips gently to distribute them evenly throughout the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for 2 hours. This chilling step helps develop flavor and improves texture for the cookies.
- Preheat and Prepare for Baking: Remove the dough from the fridge and let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes while you preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
- Scoop the Cookies: Using a 2-3 tablespoon scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for approximately 12 minutes. Once done, remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
- Cooling: Allow the cookies to sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to finish cooking and firm up. Then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure vegan butter is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly with sugars.
- Chilling the dough is crucial for texture; do not skip this step.
- If using gluten-free flour, ensure it is a 1-to-1 baking blend for best results.
- Cookies are best stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute Enjoy Life chocolate chips with any other dairy-free chocolate chips of your choice.
