Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup water
Additional
- 1 cup semi-sweet vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to ensure the cookies bake evenly and develop a nice golden edge.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, neutral oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the water to blend all wet ingredients smoothly.
- Mix dry ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until a smooth and cohesive dough forms without any lumps.
- Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
- Shape the cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop rounded mounds of dough and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Pay close attention to avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes after removing from the oven, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- This recipe uses just one bowl and minimal ingredients, making it quick and easy for busy bakers.
- Ensure you do not overbake; the cookies will be soft and slightly underdone in the center when they come out but will firm up as they cool.
- Neutral oil can be substituted with melted coconut oil or another mild-flavored oil if preferred.
- For extra cinnamon flavor, consider sprinkling a little cinnamon sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
