Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk or other plant-based milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
  6. Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
