Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter melted and cooled (113 grams)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (165 grams)

- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (add a little more for it to be extra chocolaty)
- flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 360°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl add the vegan butter and melt it in the microwave in 15 second intervals. Let cool about 10 minutes. Then whisk in the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and vegan yogurt.
- Next add the flour, corn starch, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt and fold to combine using a spatula or large spoon. Don't over mix it will turn the dough firm, just mix some white flour showing still is ok it will get mixed the rest of the way when the chocolate gets added.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips. scoop about 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) size cookie balls, (I put 6 per cookie sheet) and place in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and use a circle cookie cutter or the lid of a mason jar to shape them if needed and let the cool on the baking sheet. Enjoy once cooled or place in a sealed container for up to 1 week on the counter.

Notes
Baking Sheet: Use a light colored baking sheet, if you only have a dark one I recommend checking on the cookies at about 10 minutes, dark pans tend to burn the bottom of the cookies more because they get hotter.
Butter: For this recipe I have used Earth Balance stick butter, VioLife block butter and Miyokos block butter (now reformulated and called Melt) and it needs to be measured then melted (not softened) and then cooled.
Yogurt: I like the So Delicious brand or SILK almond.
Chocolate: I like Enjoy Life, Hu Chocolate and Just Date brands.
Measuring the butter: I recommend a kitchen scale for bets results, a little bit too much or too little will really affect the cookies. If you do not have a scale or a full stick of butter with measuring lines on it, I use the "dry cup method" for measuring the butter, scoop the butter into a dry measuring cup and level it off with the back of a butter knife. Butter gets measured before melting it.
Measuring sugar: To measure white sugar use a dry measuring cup, scoop it into the bag and level it off using the back of a butter knife. If you have a kitchen scale it would be more accurate to use that.
Measuring brown sugar: To measure brown sugar use a dry measuring cup, scoop it into the cup and pack it firmly. If you have a kitchen scale it would be more accurate to use that.
Measuring flour: To measure all purpose white flour, a kitchen scale is the best and most accurate way to measure, but if you don’t have one using the dry cup method is the next best. To measure flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and use a butter knife to level it off gently. Avoid packing the flour this will result in way too much flour being used. Please note that most “gram” conversions are based on white all purpose flour, not all flours weigh the same so please make sure that if you are substituting a different flour such as oat, gluten free or any others that the best way to measure would be using the dry cup method.
Storing fresh: Placing baked goods in a sealed container is usually the best way, if it’s a cookie you can also add a piece of plain white bread to help the cookies stay soft and moist. The cookies will absorb the moisture from the bread so that’s why it’s important that the bread is plain white so the cookies don’t take on the flavor of the bread.
Storing the dough: Store the cookies in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-5 days. (Best practice is with a piece of white bread in the container to keep the cookies soft, it's not joke it works).
Freezing: You can also freeze the dough by scooping them out using a cookie scoop and placing them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet in the freezer until frozen and then store them in a freezer zip lock bag for up to 3 months. To bake them, let them thaw out on the counter for about 30 minutes or on the stove while pre heating for 10-15 minutes (while sitting on parchment paper lined baking sheet) then bake according to directions.
