Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil (or vegan butter)

  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water (flax egg)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional for dairy free chocolate chocolate version)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a small bowl, combine flaxseed and water to make the flax egg. Let sit 5 minutes.

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and flax egg.

  • In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and optional cocoa powder.

  • Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until combined.

  • Fold in dairy-free chocolate chips.

  • Scoop dough onto the baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.

  • Bake for 11–12 minutes, until edges are set.

 

  • Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, chill the dough for 30–60 minutes before baking.

  • Use refined coconut oil to avoid coconut flavor.

  • To create dairy free chocolate chocolate cookies, add cocoa powder for double the chocolate.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
