Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour 220g
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup earth balance (1 stick) 113g
  • 1/2 cup organic brown sugar (packed) 110g
  • 1/2 cup organic cane sugar 110g
  • 1/2 banana (ripe) 50g
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (50-70% cacao content) 150g

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in a bowl; set aside.
  • In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix earth balance, cane sugar, and brown sugar until well incorporated.
    If you don't have a stand mixer, melt earth balance on low heat; let it cool completely. Whisk melted butter with cane sugar and brown sugar until well incorporated. Then proceed with the steps below using a large bowl, whisk, spatula, and arm strength to mix your dough.
  • In a separate bowl, mash banana with a whisk until smooth. Whisk in tapioca starch, water, and vanilla. Slowly incorporate this mixture into your stand mixer bowl with your butter and sugars.
  • Add your dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) into stand mixer. Mix on low until cookie dough forms. Add chopped chocolate or chocolate chips; mix on low until chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Portion out balls of dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave enough space in between each cookie as the cookies will spread while they bake.
  • Bake cookies until golden brown around the edges, about 12-15 minutes (baking times will vary depending on your oven and the size of your cookies).
  • Let cookies cool on baking sheets for at least 5 minutes or until cookies are firm enough to handle. Cookies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Notes

You can portion out cookie dough balls and freeze them, then you can have freshly baked cookies on the fly.
