VEGETARIAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Is there a more iconic American dessert than chocolate chip cookies? They’re so iconic, they should have their own holiday. Actually, it turns out they do have their own holiday! August 4 is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day and what better way to celebrate than by sharing my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe? These cookies got me through some seriously hard times, from some super rough breakups, to the Friends finale (Ross and Rachel forever!). I hope they are as clutch for you as they have been for me. I have a feeling they will be.
Equipment
- Electric or hand mixer
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Whisk
- Parchment paper
- Tablespoon or cookie scoop
- Wire rack
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened (or use vegan butter for a dairy-free option)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat the baking process with the remaining cookie dough if needed.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container.
- Enjoy your delicious vegetarian chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
