The idea that vegan desserts can't be delicious is a total myth. These cookies are dangerously addictive—a bit crisp on the edges and pleasantly chewy in the centers. They're good enough to prove any nay-sayer wrong.

Ingredients

1/3 cup
brown sugar
1/3 cup
granulated sugar
2/3 cup
canola or vegetable oil
1/4 cup
unsweetened non-dairy milk
1 Tbsp.
cornstarch
1 tsp.
pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp.
baking soda
1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
4 oz.
semisweet vegan chocolate, roughly chopped, or 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Step 2In a large bowl, combine sugars, oil, milk, and cornstarch. Whisk until fully combined, 2 minutes. Whisk in vanilla.
3. Step 3Add flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and mix until incorporated. Fold in chopped chocolate or chocolate chips.
4. Step 4Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop the dough directly onto the baking sheet, giving each cookie about 2” of space. Dampen your hands with cold water and use your palms to flatten the balls slightly (to about 3” to 4” inches in diameter). If using, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
5. Step 5Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden at the edges. Let cool 10 minutes, transfer to cooling rack, and let cool completely.
