Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Whisk Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and baking soda to ensure even distribution of the rising agent and seasoning.

3. Cream Vegan Butter and Sugars

Using a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the vegan butter, cane sugar, and coconut sugar together until the mixture turns light in texture.

4. Add Flaxseed Slurry and Vanilla

Stir in the flaxseed meal slurry and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.

6. Fold in Vegan Chocolate

Gently fold the chopped vegan chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.

7. Scoop and Prepare Dough Balls

Use a scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets and optionally sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top of each dough mound.

8. Bake Cookies

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18-21 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cookies are done when edges are golden brown.

9. Cool Cookies

Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
