Description

Learn how to make chewy chocolate chip cookies with the perfect texture. These soft, delightful cookies combine simple pantry staples and plant-based (natural) flavors, resulting in a cozy and irresistible treat that is soft inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and full of rich chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted plant-based (natural) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Add-ins

  • 1 1/2 cups plant-based chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy clean-up and even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This ensures the leavening agent and salt are properly distributed throughout the dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the unsalted plant-based (natural) butter with both brown and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy this step is essential for a soft and chewy cookie texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla (Natural): Beat in the egg and vanilla extract (natural) until the batter becomes smooth and glossy, forming a rich base for the cookie dough.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, or the cookies may become tough.
  6. Stir in Plant-Based Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly for pockets of melty chocolate throughout each cookie.
  7. Portion Dough and Bake: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto your prepared sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
  8. Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This keeps their chewy texture intact, ready for you to savor every bite.

Notes

  • Use brown sugar generously to add moisture and chew thanks to its natural molasses content.
  • Don’t overbake; pull cookies out when edges set but centers are still soft to retain chewiness.
  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and deepen flavors.
  • Try plant-based (natural) butter for great tenderness and flavor.
  • Under-mix flour just until combined to avoid developing gluten that leads to toughness.
