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)
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.
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.
