Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Vegan butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Organic granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups Vegan dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups Chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the vegan dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 12 equally sized portions, approximately 6 ounces each. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. This will ensure a gooey, chewy center.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your warm Vegan Levain Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies with a cold glass of plant-based milk!
