Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate large bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and brown sugar until well combined.
   • Stir in the vanilla extract and almond milk.
4. Combine Wet and Dry:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Add Chocolate Chips:
   • Fold in the vegan chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
6. Shape Cookies:
   • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake:
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
8. Cool:
   • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations:

• Tips: Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to avoid melting the sugar. If the dough is too crumbly, add a bit more almond milk.
• Variations: Try adding a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit for extra texture. Substitute the coconut oil with vegan butter for a different flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve these cookies warm with a glass of almond milk or your favorite plant-based milk. They also pair wonderfully with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
