Ingredients:
Wet Mixture:
- 150 g (⅔ cup) vegan butter, block-style, melted for a buttery base
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar, organic preferred for US-based bakers
- 100 g (½ cup) soft brown sugar, adding a touch of caramel-like sweetness
- 40 g (2 tbsp) Greek-style vegan yogurt, for a tender crumb
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, for a rich, aromatic flavor
Dry Mixture:
- 188 g (1½ cups) all-purpose flour, sifted for a light texture
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, for a warming spice note
- 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and baking soda, sifted, to ensure a perfect rise
- ½ teaspoon sea salt, plus extra for garnish, to enhance flavors
Stir-Ins:
- 100 g (1¼ cups) rolled oats, old-fashioned oats for a chewy bite
- 150 g (⅘ cup) vegan chocolate chips, for gooey pockets of chocolate
Instructions:
- Begin by warming your oven to a cozy 175°C (350°F) and prepare two baking trays with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the sugars into the melted vegan butter until well combined. Stir in the yogurt and vanilla paste to incorporate.
- Gently fold in the sifted flour, cinnamon, baking agents, and salt into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the rolled oats and most of the chocolate chips, reserving some for topping later.
- Chill the cookie dough briefly for 15 minutes to firm up, then scoop out and roll into 12 equal-sized balls.
- Place the dough balls onto your prepared trays, giving them space to spread, and press the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes until the edges are just set. Remove and if desired, use a cookie cutter to gently shape the cookies to perfection.
- Let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then finish with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt while they’re still warm and inviting.
