Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegan butter (, softened)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (, packed)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups dairy free chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • Optional: Vegan Chocolate Frosting

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C. Spray an 8-inch round cake pan or springform pan with vegetable cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Combine vegan butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix with a beater on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add flaxseed, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Beat for another minute until combined and light.

  3. 3

    In a bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour this into the bowl with the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.

  4. 4

    Add 1 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a spreadable consistency. Press into the prepared pan.

  5. 5

    Place the remaining chocolate chips on the top of the batter, pressing them in just a little. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until edges of the crust are golden.

  6. 6

    Optional: Decorate the edges of the cookie cake with chocolate frosting once it has cooled completely. This frosting tip from Amazon works great.
