Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don’t settle for dry, flavorless chocolate chip cookie dupes—these taste just like the real deal! Made with no eggs, non-dairy milk, 1:1 gluten-free flour, and one of our favorite vegan butter products, they bake up delightfully crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt adds the perfect finishing touch. Our tip: for the best tasting cookies, make the dough ahead of time and let it rest overnight to enhance the flavors.

Vegan & Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Serves: 12

Ingredients

8 Tbsp MiYoko’s unsalted butter, room temperature
½ cup plus 2 Tbsp packed dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp kosher salt
3 Tbsp unsweetened plant-based milk
1 ½ cups Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp xanthan gum
¾ cups plant based chocolate chips
Flake salt, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugars, vanilla, and salt until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Slowly pour in the plant-based milk and mix until combined, 30 seconds.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and xanthan gum.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the stand mixer and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. 
  5. Add the chocolate chips and mix until just combined. Form the dough into a disc and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled through and firm, about 3 hours or preferably overnight.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350º. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls and evenly space them on the two sheet pans. Sprinkle with flake salt to taste.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are just set. Lightly bang the pans on the counter to help flatten the cookies, and allow to cool completely. 
  8. Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
