Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups (281 g) all-purpose flour (measured correctly)*
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp (5 g) cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks [169 g]) vegan buttery sticks, slightly softened*
  • 1/3 cup (73 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) non-dairy milk
  • 2 tsp (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup (212 g) vegan chocolate chips, separated

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Grease a 9"×13" pan and set aside.
  2. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch to medium mixing bowl and whisk until combined.
  3. Add the butter, sugars, milk, and vanilla to a large mixing bowl. Beat until combined.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until combined.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  6. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and gently press in.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean or with just crumbs.
  8. Allow to cool slightly and slice into 24 bars.

Notes

  1. Measure your flour using this method or your bars may turn out dry and crumbly.
  2. You should use vegan buttery sticks (like Earth Balance) in this recipe rather than butter out of a tub. For the best consistency, bring your butter out 30 minutes to an hour before using.
