Total time: 1 hour (45 minutes preparation, 15 minutes baking)
Makes 10 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar (100 grams)
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar (165 grams), tightly packed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup refined coconut oil (120 grams), melted
- ¼ cup plant-based milk (60 ml)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour (185 grams)
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 115 grams vegan semi-sweet chocolate, in chunks
- 115 grams vegan dark chocolate, in chunks
Step by step
1. Prepare the sugar and oil mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the white sugar, brown sugar, and salt together with the melted coconut oil until a well-integrated mixture is obtained.
2. Incorporate the milk and vanilla: Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until the ingredients dissolve and the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
3. Sift the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking soda. Add this mixture to the dough using a folding motion with a spatula to avoid overmixing.
4. Add the chocolate: Add the semi-sweet and dark chocolate chunks to the dough and mix them in evenly.
5. Rest the dough: Place the dough in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cookies maintain their shape in the oven.
6. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F)
7. Form the cookies: Using an ice cream scoop or a large spoon, place portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave at least 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie.
8. Bake: Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges begin to brown slightly.
9. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack so they solidify and become perfectly crispy.
