Instructions
- Preheat your #[Oven] to ![350°F]. Line two large #[Baking Sheet] with #[Parchment Paper] and set aside.
- In a large #[Mixing Bowl], whisk together the melted @[Coconut Oil], @[Brown Sugar], and @[Granulated Sugar] until smooth and well combined, about ~[1 minute]. Add the @[Eggs] and @[Vanilla Extract] and whisk vigorously for another ~[minute] until the mixture is glossy and slightly thickened.
- Add the @[All-Purpose Flour], @[Baking Soda], and @[Fine Salt] to the wet ingredients. Use a #[Spatula] to fold everything together until just combined — do not overmix. Fold in the @[Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips] until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons (about 1.5 tbsp each) of dough onto the prepared #[Baking Sheet], spacing them about 2 inches apart. If desired, press a few extra @[Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips] on top and sprinkle lightly with @[Flaky Sea Salt].
- Bake for ~[10–12 minutes], until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers still look slightly underdone. Do not overbake — they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove from the #[Oven] and let the cookies cool on the #[Baking Sheet] for ~[5 minutes] before transferring to a #[Wire Rack] to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an #[Airtight Container].
