Ingredients

  • 350 g plain white flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 225 g vegan butter at room temperature (I used Naturli “vegan block” because it browns beautifully but if you’re in the US use Miyokos)
  • 100 g soft light brown sugar
  • 100 g soft dark brown sugar
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy milk unflavoured and unsweetened, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 340 g dark chocolate chips or buttons (I used Callebaut “callets” (like big buttons, bought from amazon. Remember, most chocolate over 65% cacao is usually vegan but double check the ingredients)
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Line a cookie sheet with baking parchment.
  • In a medium bowl sieve together the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
    350 g plain white flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • Place the vegan butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the sugars and beat on a medium speed to combine. Add the vanilla and the soy milk while the mixer is running then beat until light and fluffy (around 2 mins).

  • With a silicone spatula, stir in the dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix.
  • Add around ¾ of the chocolate chips and stir to combine. Scoop out balls of cookie dough around 2 tablespoon in size, and space a couple of inches apart.
