Vegan Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
These easy to make cookies are rich and decadent. They are super chocolatey with a minty flavor. If you love the combination of mint and chocolate, these cookies are for you!
Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3 tablespoon soy milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (vegan)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Using a stand mixer, cream together the softened vegan butter and sugar. You can also use a hand mixer and a large bowl.
- Beat in the peppermint extract and soy milk.
- Add in the flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, cornstarch, salt and the baking soda. Mix it on low speed until well combined.
- Use a spoon to stir in the chocolate chips. The batter will be very thick.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Optional: Use a fork to slightly flatten the cookies.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and let the cookies rest for 3 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Make sure you are using peppermint extract, not mint extract.
- I use Trader Joe's chocolate chips which are naturally dairy-free.
- It may be easier to use your hands to mix in the chocolate chips.
Equipment
- Cookie sheet
- cooling rack
