Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

No kiddin', these cookies are sublime. Even regular people like them. The saving grace is definitely that they are made with coconut oil. What a difference! My mum had the cutest and most unique compliment after she tried one. "If there was a store that sold these cookies, I would buy them every time I went to that store." How cute is that? The recipe posted below has made being a vegan so much easier. I love me a homemade chocolate chip cookie and was scared that I'd never have a decent one again. How wrong I was!

The BEST Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Author: veganhousewives.com

Recipe type: Dessert/Vegan

Prep time:  10 mins

Cook time:  20 mins

Total time:  30 mins

Serves: 12-15 cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cup coconut oil
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup almond milk
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (Trader Joe's chocolate chips are accidentally vegan!)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream (aka thoroughly mix) together the coconut oil & brown sugar, then add the almond milk and vanilla. The mixture may be really "liquidy" this is OK.
3. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
4. Combine the wet & dry ingredients (it WILL BE crumbly - this is OK), then fold in the chocolate morsels & any other mix-ins of your choosing.
5. Roll into tablespoon sized balls & place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (or on a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet), then flatten them out a bit with your palm. The dough may be a little crumbly, but just smoosh it together and it will work fine!
6. Bake for 7-10 minutes. (I did 8 which was perfect)
