Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/h2>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t
\n\t\t
  • 1\/2 cup 1 stick vegan butter, melted<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup brown sugar<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup cane sugar<\/li>
  • 1 1\/2 tbsp ground flax meal + 3 tbsp water<\/li>
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract<\/li>
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour*<\/li>
  • 1\/2 cup oat flour*<\/li>
  • 1\/4 tsp salt<\/li>
  • 1\/4 tsp baking soda<\/li>
  • 1 cup chocolate chips<\/li>
  • 3\/4 cup chocolate chunks<\/li>
  • Optional: flaky salt for topping<\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\t
    \n\t\t
    1. Preheat the oven to 375\u02daF.<\/li>
    2. Mix flax meal and water; let it sit for 15 minutes to thicken.<\/li>
    3. Melt vegan butter (preferably on the stove) and add it to a stand mixer with both sugars. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.<\/li>
    4. In a separate bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt.<\/li>
    5. Add flax “egg” and vanilla to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.<\/li>
    6. Incorporate the dry mixture into the wet ingredients in batches. Fold in both types of chocolate.<\/li>
    7. Using a large cookie dough scoop (2-3 tbsp), arrange scoops on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.<\/li>
    8. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to prevent excessive spreading during baking.<\/li>
    9. Bake 5-6 cookies at a time for 12 minutes (or 9-10 minutes for smaller cookies).<\/li>
    10. Optional: After baking, use a fork to press the edges for crinkly, crispy edges. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.<\/li>
    11. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes, then savor the goodness!<\/li><\/ol>\t<\/div>\n\t
      \n\t\t
        \n
      • *For the regular gluten-containing version, substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour AND oat flour with 1 1\/2 cups regular all-purpose flour. Oat flour is not needed with regular flour.<\/li>\n
      • For a less doughy, slightly drier cookie, add an extra 2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour to the recipe.<\/li>\n
      • Don’t skip the chilling step, or the cookies will spread excessively.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        **Storage:**<\/strong>
        Store leftover cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze for up to 6 months; enjoy straight from the freezer or reheat each cookie for about 30 seconds in the microwave.<\/p>\n

        **Freezing Dough:**<\/strong>
        Freeze the dough in pre-portioned balls on a sheet pan. Once frozen, transfer to a container or bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Bake the frozen dough straight from the freezer \u2013 they may just need an extra minute or two in the oven.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\t
