🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 0.75 cups Vegan butter
• 1 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cups Cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond or oat)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Vegan dark chocolate chunks

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter. Allow it to cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it foams and begins to brown. It will take on a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, cane sugar, and cooled vegan brown butter. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

3. Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk again until smooth. Set aside.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms.

6. Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps prevent spreading while baking.

8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

9. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

10. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still slightly soft.

11. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

12. Serve and enjoy these decadent vegan brown butter chocolate chunk cookies!
