Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (1 stick or 112g, softened to room temperature) Provides the rich flavor and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup organic white sugar (100g) Sweetens the cookies and helps achieve texture.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (100g) Adds depth and chewiness.
  • 3 tablespoons vegan milk (room temperature) Keeps the batter moist.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses warmth and enhances flavor.
  • 1 3/4 cups flour (210g) Essential base for structure.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch Ensures softer, chewier cookies.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps cookies rise slightly.
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt Balances sweetness.
  • 8 ounces chopped vegan chocolate chips/chunks Provides chocolatey bits throughout.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter, organic white sugar, and brown sugar for about 3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Add the vegan milk and vanilla extract. Mix for another 30 seconds until fully integrated.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and sea salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until fully combined.
  5. Fold in the chopped vegan chocolate chips until just combined.
  6. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 2 hours to chill the dough.
Cooking
  1. Once chilled, scoop out the cookies, making heaping tablespoon portions, and leave about 3 inches between each on the parchment-lined basket.
  2. Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (around 163°C).
  3. Place the cookie dough balls into the basket and air fry for 7 minutes.
  4. After 7 minutes, leave the cookies in the air fryer for an additional 3 minutes without opening the door.
  5. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can freeze both the baked cookies and the cookie dough for future baking.
