Servings 4

2 cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder for a bit more lift
½ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup melted vegan butter OR refined coconut oil cooled slightly (both widely available in the U.S.)
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1½ cups dairy-free chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
Optional: flaky sea salt for topping

The oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) and a large baking sheet is lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

In a medium bowl, the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt are whisked together until evenly combined, then the bowl is set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, the melted vegan butter or coconut oil is stirred together with brown sugar and granulated sugar until a thick, sandy mixture is formed. Then the plant-based milk and vanilla are added and the mixture is whisked until smooth and slightly creamy.

The dry mixture is added to the wet ingredients and everything is gently mixed with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain; overmixing is avoided to keep the cookies tender. The dairy-free chocolate chips are then folded in, making sure they are distributed throughout the dough.

Using a tablespoon or a 1½-tablespoon cookie scoop, mounds of dough are dropped onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each for spreading.

The cookies are baked for 9–11 minutes, until the edges look lightly golden and the centers still appear soft and slightly underdone.

If desired, extra chocolate chips and a pinch of flaky sea salt are placed on top of each cookie right after baking. The cookies are left to cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before being transferred to a wire rack so the centers can set while staying soft.
