Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Begin by adding the melted vegan butter and coconut sugar into a small bowl. Whisk together. It’ll look clumpy, that’s totally normal. Next, pour in the cashew milk, vanilla paste, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Whisk well until it forms a creamy and smooth syrup. You’ll see it transform before your eyes!
Sprinkle in the spelt flour and fold together until there are streaks of flour remaining. Finally, add in the chocolate and fold into the dough.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes exactly.
Scoop the frozen dough out of the bowl, divide it into two, and roll each piece of dough into a tight ball. Place both cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced apart, and bake in the oven for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are golden-brown and the middle is still gooey. Remove from the oven and bang the pan on the counter 5-6 times; this will give your cookie that signature tortoiseshell look. Let cool for 8-10 minutes; it’ll continue to cook as it cools on the counter.

Notes

Measure the ingredients carefully. When a recipe like this is scaled down drastically, there is less room for error (as in none at all). I highly recommend using the gram measurements for best results, because something as improperly measuring the flour can skew this recipe. And speaking of grams, linking the kitchen scale I use all the time here (it’s so chic).

Confirming that this is an amended version of my original single-serve chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m constantly retesting recipes so they’re the best version they can be, and this cookie recipe was due for an update. And while it’ll never be perfect, it’s pretty close!
