Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup vegan butter make sure it is COMPLETELY soft!  I leave mine out overnight in advance. See notes if yours is not soft enough.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar *if you want a sugar free option, this links to my favorite sweetener, you can substitute it 1:1 in place of regular granulated sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp non-dairy milk room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups gluten free flour can sub all-purpose if desired. This links to my favorite store bought gluten free flour blend that works best with all of my recipes, or see "Ingredients Needed" section for further info.
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ heaping tsp salt
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips plus a few extras to push into the tops at the end
  • flaky sea salt optional to sprinkle over the top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together vegan butter with both sugars until it is smooth.  Then add in the milk and vanilla and mix together fully.
  • Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, and mix until fully combined.  Then add in the chocolate chips. 
  • Scoop 2-tbsp sized balls and set a few inches from one another on the baking sheet.  You should wind up with around 20 cookies.
  • Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.  The cookies will continue to cook on the tray after you remove them!  Let them rest for at least 10 minutes, then move to a cooling rack.
  • Eat and enjoy!

Notes

  1. If you have to make cookies before your butter has softened completely, I suggest heading over to my Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe instead (linked earlier in the "how to make them" section).
