Dairy-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

These dairy-free cookies are made with plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. They’re chewy in the middle, slightly crisp on the edges, and perfect for snacking or sharing.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) dairy-free butter (like Earth Balance or Miyoko's), softened
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (like Enjoy Life)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, cream together the dairy-free butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth.
3. Add the egg and vanilla extract; mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
7. Scoop 1½ tbsp portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden. The centers may look slightly soft — that’s perfect!
9. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
