Ingredients
Units
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp dairy free butter
- 1/2 cup packed (110 g) light brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated cane sugar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) aquafaba
- 1 tbsp soy sauce or 1/3 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp (5 g) finely ground coffee
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp (105 g) all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp (70 g) bread flour
- 2 tbsp (14 g) pecan flour*
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) baking powder
- 1/3 tsp (1.6 g) baking soda
- 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips
- fancy salt for topping, optional
Instructions
Prepare Brown Butter
- Add the butter to a heavy bottom saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly with a heat proof spatula, cook until you start to see brown specks and smells nutty. Immediately remove from the heat and pour into a large heat-proof mixing bowl. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Make the Cookies
- In a medium bowl, add the all purpose flour, bread flour, almond flour, baking powder and baking soda, and whisk together. Set aside.
- To the cooled browned butter, add the brown and cane sugar and whisk together.
- Pour in the aquafaba, soy sauce, ground coffee and vanilla extract and whisk until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and fold it in with a spatula until just combined (some small streaks of flour is okay).
- Fold in the chocolate chips until batter is fully combined.
- Using a large cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place them on a lined baking tray. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F (180 C).
- Once the oven is ready, remove the cookie dough from the fridge and place on a lined baking tray about 3 inches apart. The cookie dough should feel firm, but not solid. If you find the cookie dough to be soft, place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes until firm (this helps with overspreading that may occur depending on the type of dairy free butter used). Bake for 11-15 minutes until the edged are slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and tap the baking tray on the counter for a ripple effect and remove the puffing of the cookies.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them onto a wire rack. Top with fancy salt and enjoy!
