Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (115g) vegan butter, browned
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated white sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) plant-based milk (unsweetened)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp (3g) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp (0.5g) ground ginger
  • ⅛ tsp (0.2g) ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ tsp (0.2g) ground cloves
  • 1 cup (170g) vegan dark chocolate chunks

Instructions:

  1. Melt the vegan butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until it foams and turns a golden, mahogany-colored brown with a nutty aroma.
  2. Immediately remove the browned butter from heat and whisk in the brown and white sugars until combined. Stir in the plant milk and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet butter mixture using a spatula. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring.
