Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies (makes approx. 36 cookies)
Ingredients
  • 1 cup vegan butter or margarine
  • ¾ cup cane sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup aquafaba
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons molasses
  • 2¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt (omit if aquafaba is salted)
  • 1½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line baking trays with parchment paper or spray lightly with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars until fluffy, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the aquafaba, vanilla and molasses and beat until well combined. Scrape down sides as needed. It will look a bit curdled but that's ok. Beat it on high until it comes together.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and mix until completely combined.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop dough onto cookie sheet. I used a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop for medium size cookies. You can make them smaller or larger if you wish, just be sure to adjust the baking time.
  7. Bake for 9 minutes. They will be very lightly browned and still puffy when you take them out (see pictures below). If you like a darker, crunchier cookie, bake them 1-2 minutes longer. If you are baking two sheets of cookies at a time, rotate the trays ½ way through.
  8. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then with a spatula gently move them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
