Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie
Crunchy on the outside. Chewy on the inside. And LOTS of chocolate chunks. These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are my idea of perfection!
Ingredients
- 400 grams Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Bicarb Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 200 grams Vegan Butter
- 200 grams Light Brown Sugar
- 100 grams Granulated Sugar
- 60 grams Applesauce
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 150 grams Dark Chocolate chopped into small pieces (I use 70% Lindt)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°c. Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture lightens slightly.
- Add applesauce and vanilla extract to the butter mix and combine everything well.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, bicarb soda, baking powder and salt until combined.
- Pour these dry ingredients into the butter mixture gradually and bring everything together as a dough.
- Stir through your dark chocolate pieces until evenly distributed.
- Spoon heaped tablespoons (or even 1/4 cups if you want larger cookies!) of the dough onto the lined baking sheet.
- Optional: Place the tray of dough into the fridge and rest for 20 minutes - this will help the cookies to better keep their shape in the oven.
- Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the cookie is golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
