Ingredients
 

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 6 tbsp vegan butter softened
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and water. You can use a spatula or a hand-held mixer for this step.
  • Once fully combined and creamy, add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking, and powder. Use a spatula to fold in the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
  • Add the dark chocolate chips and mix again until the chocolate chips are evenly distributed. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • To bake: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out 2 tablespoons-size balls using a cookie scoop or a measuring spoon. Arrange the balls of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each (as the cookies will spread).
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes or until just golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and press a few extra chocolate chips on each cookie (for decoration). Note: cookies will look a bit puffy right out of the oven but will deflate a bit as they cool down.
  • Let the cookies cool for at least 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or serving plate.
  • Cookies will keep for up to 5 days stored in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter.
  • Do not substitute the brown sugar: if you replace the brown sugar with granulated white sugar, your cookies won't have the same texture and won't be as chewy.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for that bakery-style flavor!
  • To get perfectly round cookies: as soon as you remove the cookies from the oven, place a glass or a mug over a cookie and give it a spin by making a circular motion. This will help smooth the edges and give you perfectly round cookies!
  • Right out of the oven, gently press extra chocolate chips into the dough. Your cookies will look even more delicious.
  • Wait until the cookies have cooled down for at least 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack or plate.
