  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract: A must for that classic cookie dough aroma.
  • 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk like oat or soy: Keeps the dough creamy.

Method
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
  1. Before you start, assemble all your ingredients. This simple act makes the process smoother and keeps you organized.
Step 2: Toast the Flour
  1. In a dry skillet, toast the flour over medium heat. Stir frequently for about 5-7 minutes until it’s golden and aromatic. This step enhances the flavor.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend the non-dairy butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Use a hand mixer or a whisk. Ensure everything is nicely combined until creamy.
Step 4: Add Vanilla and Milk
  1. Mix in the vanilla extract. Then, slowly add non-dairy milk while stirring. The consistency should be smooth and slightly thinned.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
  1. Now, gradually add your toasted flour into the wet mixture. Stir until fully combined. The dough should start to come together nicely.
Step 6: Fold in Extras
  1. Finally, fold in your dark chocolate chips and nuts if you're using them. This is where you can get creative.
Step 7: Chill and Enjoy
  1. Place your dough into the fridge for about 30 minutes. Chilling helps it set, making it easier to scoop. But hey, if you can’t wait, go ahead and dig in!

Notes

Here are several tips to ensure your cookie dough turns out perfect:
Choose Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate and pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
Check for Thickness: If the dough seems too dry, add a splash more non-dairy milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Experiment: Don’t hesitate to add your favorite ingredients—dried fruit, different nuts, or spices like cinnamon can enhance the flavor.
Vegan Butter Alternatives: If you don’t have plant-based butter, a combo of coconut oil and nut butter can work just fine.
Use a Food Processor: For a smoother texture, you can pulse the mixture in a food processor.
