What you will need
This recipe uses 7 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 cup vegan butter softened
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup vegan mini chocolate chips
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Heat Treat the Flour
Spread flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes or microwave in a bowl for 1 minute 15 seconds stirring halfway through. This eliminates any harmful bacteria. Let cool completely.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl beat the softened vegan butter and brown sugar together with a hand mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Add Liquid Ingredients
Mix in the almond milk and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 4: Fold in Flour and Chips
Stir in the cooled heat-treated flour and salt until a thick dough forms. Fold in the vegan mini chocolate chips.
Step 5: Serve or Chill
Eat immediately at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes for a firmer scoopable texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- vegan butter → refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor though the texture will be slightly different
- almond milk → oat milk or any other plant-based milk of your choice
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Skipping the heat treatment of the flour which can harbor harmful bacteria and is not safe to eat raw
- Using cold vegan butter which does not cream properly and results in a lumpy uneven dough texture
