Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Dairy Free

Bake together. Eat these extra chocolaty cookies together.

What a world! We’re all finding ourselves spending time at home like never before. Is it joy-inducing for you, or does it make you feel restless to get out? Either way, a creative pursuit like baking can bring happiness and stress-relief.

Rebel and I visited my dad and some of the rest of our Denver family a few weeks ago. After a wonderful brunch and long visit, we returned to his house to make cookies. My niece, Alyssa, joined us to make Grandpa’s favorite cookie – chocolate chip — only we made them with the larger chunks of chocolate. He said he especially “liked the chocolate” in these cookies. 

Mom’s Kitchen

It’s always a walk down memory lane to bake in my parent’s kitchen. There are still knickknacks from every decade, from the 50s on. I love the old copper and yellow, tin canister for flour in the pantry.

We made a lot of cookies, candy and cinnamon rolls in that kitchen with my mom. I always feel like she’s looking over my shoulder reminding and instructing me. It’s a good place to be, and it was incredible fun to share it with Rebel and Alyssa.

We got so busy catching up on our lives, sharing memories and talking about the inner workings of a food blog, that we kept getting sidetracked. Alyssa asked if we usually take process photos (that show the ingredients and steps of the recipe). What a laugh! We’d distracted ourselves too much and forgotten. Good thing it wasn’t too late to capture a few.

Hope you have a chance soon to make cookies with someone special. Or for someone special.

For all the chocolate lovers out there, you’re going to love these.

Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Dairy Free

Even better than chocolate chip cookies, these chocolate chunk cookies are gooey with rich chocolate. Make them with vegan margarine or real butter.

Prep time: 15 MCook time: 40 MTotal time: 55 M

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan margarine, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 large eggs
• 2 ½ cups (12 ounces) chocolate chunks (dairy free)

Instructions:

How to cook Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Dairy Free

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Combine the dry ingredients – flour, baking soda, and salt – and mix well.
3. In a large bowl of a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars. Adds the eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla.
4. On lowest mixer setting, add flour until just combined. Scrape down bowl to be sure everything is mixed in well.
5. By hand, stir in the chocolate chunks.
6. Drop dough by heaping tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Use silpat mats, if preferred.
7. Bake 8-10 minutes (7-9 minutes for dark-coated pans) until golden brown. Let cool 2 minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. You may need to scrape chocolate from pans before baking the next sheet of cookies.

Notes:

If you can't find or don't have chocolate chunks on hand, you can chop up bittersweet or semi-sweet baking chocolate or a chocolate bar that's at least 70 percent chocolate. Chocolate chips will do in a pinch. These cookies freeze well. We wrapped individual portions in plastic wrap and placed those in a large, plastic freezer bag. For slightly less sugar, you can reduce the white sugar by 1/4 cup. Another option is to add 1 cup chopped nuts when you stir in the chocolate chunks. For dairy-full version, substitute butter for the vegan margarine.
