Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Going vegan doesn’t mean that you have to give up dessert! Vegan desserts like these dairy free chocolate chip cookies are every bit as satisfying and delicious as traditional chocolate chip cookies. They’re soft, chewy and buttery and 100% vegan!
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 5 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/3 cup cacao butter or substitute refined coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dairy free dark chocolate chips or I like to chop up one Love Chocolate Dark Chocolate Bar
- 2-3 pinches Maldon Sea Salt Flakes to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º.
- Combine the flaxseed meal with the water. Mix thoroughly and set aside for 5 minutes. The flaxseed meal will become gelatinous. This is called a flaxseed egg.
- Combine the maple syrup, cane sugar, cacao butter, vanilla and flaxseed egg in a large mixing bowl. Mix on low until thoroughly combined.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt. Mix on a low speed until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet (or use a silicon baking sheet – there are a great item to have in your kitchen). Roll a spoonful of the cookie dough into a ball and place it on the baking sheet. Gently press it into a disc. Space the cookies out with 2” in between each cookie.
- Bake at 350º for 14 minutes. The cookies should be lightly browned on the edges. Remove the cookies from the oven and sprinkle with the Maldon Sea Salt, to taste. I like to have a few discernable flakes on each cookie. Allow the cookies to cool.
