Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour (see note below for wheat-free version)1 tsp baking powder1⁄2 tsp baking soda1⁄4 cup unrefined sugar1⁄4 tsp sea salt1⁄3 cup pure maple syrup1⁄4 tsp blackstrap molasses1 - 1 1⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract1⁄4 cup organic canola oil (a little generous 1/4 cup)1⁄3 cup non-dairy chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). In a bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the sugar and salt, and stir until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup with the molasses and vanilla, then stir in the oil until well combined. Add the wet mixture to the dry, along with the chocolate chips, and stir through until just well combined (do not overmix). Place large spoonfuls of the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten a little. Bake for 11 minutes, until just golden (if you bake for much longer, they will dry out). Let cool on the sheet for no more than 1 minute (again, to prevent drying), then transfer to a cooling rack. Makes 8-10 large cookies.
Note: Unbleached all-purpose flour produces a cookie with a very classic taste and texture, but you can use whole-wheat pastry flour and still have delicious cookies! For a wheat-free version, use barley or spelt flour. With spelt flour, you may need to add an extra 2-4 TB of flour, if it is a refined spelt flour. Also, if using all-purpose flour, if the batter is heavy and dense when mixing in the wet ingredients, add another 1-2 tsp each of maple syrup and canola oil and work through.
