Baking The Cookies

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Grab either 1 medium baking sheet or two small baking sheets. The cookies will be placed on the baking sheets(s) when cooking them. You may line the baking sheet(s) with parchment paper.
3
Use a standard mixer to mix the vegan butter, vanilla extract, and dairy-alternative milk together. If you do not have a mixer, you may use a whisk to stir the ingredients together.
4
Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add the sweetener, the coconut flour, the cornstarch, the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
5
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients slowly, making sure to stop and mix the combination until fully combined.
6
Fold in the chocolate chips. Try to disperse them as evenly as possible. This will make sure all of the cookies are filled with chocolate chips.
7
Butter the baking sheet before placing the cookies on it if you do not have parchment paper. The butter on the sheet will prevent the cookies from sticking to it.
8
Use a cookie scooper or a tablespoon to scoop cookies onto a plate. You want to make sure that the cookies are rolled into balls nicely and evenly, that way the cookies come out about the same size as each other.
9
Place the cookies onto the baking sheet about 1 inch apart from each other. By being apart by an inch, you are making sure that the cookies do not touch and cook together.
10
Push down the cookies with the back of a spoon. Flattening them so they cook more evenly. You may use a spoon or clean hands to form the cookies into nicer circles if they begin to crack and spread apart.
11
Bake the cookies in the oven for 15-20 minutes and/or until golden brown around the edges. This will ensure that the cookies are still soft yet firm after cooled.
12
Take the cookies out of the oven to let them cool once they have turned a golden brown color on the edges. It is okay for the cookies to still be soft at this point.
13
Add extra cinnamon and chocolate chips on top of the cookies after about 3 minutes of cooling. This will make the cookies pop out more and present even better!
