Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50g) cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup (120ml) melted coconut oil (or any neutral oil)
3/4 cup (150g) coconut or brown sugar
1/4 cup (60ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (175g) vegan dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil and sugar until combined. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Gently fold in the vegan dark chocolate chunks or chips.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten them slightly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

Coconut oil gives these cookies a rich, chewy texture, but you can substitute with another neutral oil like vegetable or avocado oil.
If you prefer, use maple syrup instead of coconut sugar for a slightly different flavor.
For extra indulgence, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking.
