Presenting this vegan single-serve chocolate chip cookie; it’s golden brown and crispy on the edges and chewy and gooey in the centre. Full transparency, this recipe makes two, not one cookie. Because who just eats one cookie? ‘Em I right?!
Ingredients
2 tbsp (20g) Vegan Butter Melted
3 tbsp (30g) coconut sugar
2 tbsp (7g) Casher Milk
½ tsp Vanilla Paste
¼ tsp Baking Powder
¼ tsp Baking Soda
¼ tsp Kosher Salt
5 tbsp (34g) Spelt Flour
2 tbsp (24g) Chopped Dark Chocolate
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 32 minutes
Instructions
1 – Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 – Begin by adding the melted vegan butter and coconut sugar into a small bowl. Whisk together. It’ll look clumpy, that’s totally normal. Next, pour in the cashew milk, vanilla paste, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk well until it forms a creamy and smooth syrup. You’ll see it transform before your eyes!
3 – Sprinkle in the spelt flour and fold together until there are streaks of flour remaining. Finally, add in the chocolate and fold into the dough.
4 – Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes exactly.
5 – Scoop the frozen dough out of the bowl, divide it into two, and roll each piece of dough into a tight ball. Place both cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart, and bake in the oven for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown and the middle is still gooey. Remove from the oven and bang the pan on the counter 5-6 times; this will give your cookie that signature tortoiseshell look. Let cool for 8-10 minutes; it’ll continue to cook as it cools on the counter.
Remember to measure the ingredients carefully. When a recipe like this is scaled down drastically, there is less room for error (as in none at all). I highly recommend using the gram measurements for best results, because something as improperly measuring the flour can skew this recipe.
