Does The Cookie Dough Need To Be Refrigerated Before Baking?
These cookies definitely taste amazing without needing the dough to be refrigerated.
However, if you want the ingredients to meld together for a richer flavor, the cookie dough can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
– You can go this route if you like to make your cookie dough ahead of time and bake your cookies when needed.
When you’re ready to bake your refrigerated cookie dough, you may need to stir in 1 to 2 tbsp of water or non-dairy milk to soften the dough.
You can then preheat your oven and scoop the refrigerated dough onto your baking sheet before placing in the oven.
Steps To Make These Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
First, preheat your oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
– Since this recipe will yield about 18 medium cookies, you can use a second sheet or pan to bake your cookies all at once. You can also refrigerate the unused cookie dough to use at a later time.
In a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, oil, and non-dairy milk until combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Next, gradually add in the flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips or chunks.
*Tip – You can cut your own chocolate chunks in uniform or varying sizes from a vegan dark chocolate bar. The chocolate chunks give the cookie added texture.
Using a spoon or scoop, drop the mounds of dough onto your lined baking sheet. Be sure to space each mound about 2” apart.
Place the baking sheet into the oven.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and cool before serving.
Storage Tips:
The cookies will stay fresh in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
The cookies can also be stored in the refrigerator for several days or tightly wrapped in the freezer for longer storage.
