Ingredients

Ingredients for Cookies

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup dairy-free chocolate chips

Make sure to measure your ingredients accurately for the best results!

Instructions

Follow these steps to bake your cookies:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.

Shape Cookies

Use a tablespoon to scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.

Cool and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your freshly baked cookies with a glass of your favorite dairy-free milk!

Storage Tips

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will help maintain their chewy texture for several days. If you find you have leftover cookies (which is rare!), you can also freeze them for longer storage. Just make sure to separate them with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

When you're ready to enjoy a frozen cookie, simply take it out and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. You can also pop it in the microwave for a few seconds for that fresh-baked taste. These cookies are perfect for keeping on hand for unexpected guests or late-night cravings!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these Soft & Chewy Dairy-free Chocolate Chip Cookies warm with a glass of your favorite dairy-free milk for a classic pairing. Almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk would complement the flavors beautifully. This combination is not only satisfying but also makes for a delightful dessert.

Consider adding a scoop of dairy-free ice cream on top of a warm cookie for an indulgent treat. The contrast of warm and cold will elevate your dessert experience and satisfy any sweet tooth. These cookies also make a great addition to dessert tables, gatherings, or as a thoughtful homemade gift.
