How to make Vegan Dark Chocolate Brownie Cookies:
- Melt 4.5 oz. chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 25 second intervals. Once only a few unmelted chunks remain, whisk in remainder to prevent overcooking the chocolate. Cool chocolate for 5 minutes then whisk in melted butter, sugars and cocoa powder.
- In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together flour, instant espresso powder, salt, baking powder and soda. Add dry mixture and non-dairy milk to wet mixture. Whisk until creamy. Fold in remaining ½ cup chocolate chips. Let batter sit at room temp. for 10 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Use a 1.5-2 tbsp cookie scoop to distribute dough onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with additional chocolate chips. Bake for 12 minutes. (Optional): To create perfectly round cookies, place a mug/glass or circular cookie cutter over the warm dough and do a little swirl to form a round cookie. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and enjoy!

Frequently asked questions:
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
I have not tested a gluten-free version of this recipe. However, you may get good results from a 1-1 gluten-free baking flour. Lmk if you try it out!
What’s the difference between dutch-processed cocoa powder and regular cocoa powder?
It provides a richer, more chocolatey flavor that I personally enjoy way more than traditional cocoa powder. Dutch-processed cocoa powder can be found at most grocery stores or online. However, if it is an unreasonable price and you can’t locate it then regular is fine.
