Equipment
- 1 baking tray
- 1 Oven
- 1 mixer
Ingredients
- 110 grams plantbased butter/margarine
- 150 grams brown sugar
- 60 grams white sugar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp plantbased milk (e.g. oatmilk)
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (maizena in Dutch)
- 200 grams flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.25 tsp salt or more to taste
- 100 grams pure chocolate, cut into small chunks
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to about 180-200 degrees
- With a hand mixer, beat the butter on a high setting until softened.
- Add all the sugar and mix again on a high setting, until the butter and sugar is combined.
- Add in the vanilla, milk, and cornstarch and mix on a high setting until mixed.
- Gradually add in the salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix on a low setting until combined.
- Chop the chocolate into small chunks. Add in the chocolate chunks, and mix until it's evenly distributed in the dough. The dough will look crumbly. Note: If it looks too dry, crumbly or won’t be rolled into small balls easily, you can add a few drops of milk until it’s less dry. This will probably only be needed when you’ve added a bit too much flour.
- Roll the dough into small balls. The diameter can be approximately 2-3 cm. Place them on a lined baking tray. Give the doughballs enough space as they will spread in the oven.
- Place them in the middle of the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes, or until they have a golden brown edge. They will look somewhat puffy when taking them out of the oven.
- Let your cookies cool down for a bit, and enjoy!
