Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter (1 stick or 112g), softened to room temperature
- 1 cup organic white sugar (200g)
- 3 tablespoons vegan milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, room temperature
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups flour, sifted (210g)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
Add-ins
- ½ cup vegan white chocolate chips
- ½ cup raw macadamia nuts, chopped
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter and sugar for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. A whisk can also be used for this step.
- Add Liquids: Mix in the vegan milk and vanilla extract, continuing to beat the mixture for another 30 seconds to combine thoroughly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gently mix until just combined, about 1 minute, ensuring not to overmix.
- Fold in Add-ins: Carefully fold in the vegan white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts until evenly distributed through the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Cover the dough and refrigerate for 2 hours. This step is crucial for the cookies to maintain their shape and for enhanced flavor.
- Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping portions of dough, spacing them about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet. Keep the dough cold during this process to prevent it from becoming too soft.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake the cookies for 11-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the sheet. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 2 hours helps the cookies hold their shape and improves flavor.
- Ensure vegan butter and milk are at room temperature before mixing for best results.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and chewy.
- Space cookies well on the baking sheet to prevent them from spreading into each other.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring to a wire rack.
