These Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies are rich, chewy, and oozing with chocolatey goodness! This quick and easy vegan cookie recipe is the perfect treat for birthday parties or Valentine's Day!
Add the ¾ cup sugar, brown sugar, butter, and cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer and use the paddle attachment to cream the ingredients. (Or mix them in a bowl with a hand mixer).
Add the soy milk and vanilla and mix again until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together.
Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in half-cup increments, mixing until just combined each time. In the end, a thick dough will form. If your dough is too crumbly, you could add another teaspoon or two of soy milk, but this batter should be quite firm.
Add in the chocolate chips and mix to combine.
Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350F (170C).
Take about 1.5 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the ball on a lined cookie sheet. These cookies spread a little but you should easily be able to fit 9 to 12 cookies per cookie sheet. Repeat until you've made the number of cookies you want to make (if you are baking them in two batches, store the extra batter in the refrigerator while the first batch is baking.)
Bake for 14 to 16 minutes. The cookies should have a thin crisp exterior and a lightly browned bottom, but they should still be soft on the inside. Let the cookies rest for a few minutes on the cookie sheet and then transfer them to a cooling rack.
I highly recommend weighing the ingredients for which weights are listed. This will ensure the exact measurements and give you the best results. If you don't have a scale and need to use measuring cups, be sure the flour is loose and not packed into the cup.
This recipe will make 18 to 20 cookies, depending on how big they are.
Nutritional information is calculated based on 18 cookies.
If you are baking these cookies in more than one batch, be sure to chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator between batches and let the cookie sheet cool completely before starting a new batch (placing cookie dough onto a warm cookie sheet can cause the cookies to spread too much).
