Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
Deliciously soft and chewy dairy-free chocolate chip cookies that everyone can enjoy.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup dairy-free butter, softened or regular butter if not dairy-free
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.75 tsp baking soda
- 2.125 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped chocolate semisweet recommended
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later.
- In a mixing bowl (using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a handheld mixer), combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until just combined—be careful not to over-mix!
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms. Gently fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Using a medium cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out 1.5-2 tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3-4 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 8-11 minutes. They should look set around the edges but may appear under-baked in the center.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a fun twist, try adding nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
