The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

Jay made these for me one day... and I think they are the most delicious cookies ever... Jay was generous enough to share the recipe :)

Home-style Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1⁄2 tsp baking soda
1⁄4 cup unrefined sugar
1⁄4 tsp sea salt
1⁄3 cup pure maple syrup
1⁄4 tsp black strap molasses
1 - 1 1⁄2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1⁄4 cup organic canola oil (a little generous 1/4 cup)
1⁄3 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

- Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
- In a bowl, sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Add the sugar and salt, and stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup with the molasses and vanilla, then stir in the oil until well combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry, along with the chocolate chips, and stir through until just combined (do not over mix).
- Place large spoonfuls or 2oz ice cream scoop of the batter on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten a little.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until just golden (if you bake for much longer, they will dry out).
- Let cool on the sheet for no more than 1 minute (again, to prevent drying), then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Makes 12 2oz  cookies.
