These Dairy Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are so delicious you won't even miss the dairy! They are gooey on the inside and crispy on the edges. The best part is that you do not have to chill these cookies and they can be ready in less than 30 minutes!

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium sized microwave safe bowl melt the 1/2 cup vegan butter. Add the 2/3 cup brown sugar and 2 tbsp white sugar and mix till smooth.
Add the 2 egg yolks and 1 tsp vanilla extract and mix again.
Add in the 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp kosher salt and stir till dough forms.
Stir in the 1 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Leave out a handful of chocolate on the side and add the rest into the batter. Mix until evenly combined.
Scoop out the dough using a 3 tbsp cookie scoop, or using two tablespoons for one cookie dough ball. Press the leftover chocolate pieces all over the tops of each cookie. Place on a cookie sheet leaving 1.5 inch space between each one and bake for 12-14 minutes or until the bottom of the cookie is golden brown.
To make perfectly round cookies- immediately after baking place a cookie cutter or bowl that is larger than the cookie and move your hand in a fast circular motion to round the cookies into perfect circles.
Cool for 3 minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
My favorite dairy free butter is Earth balance. I buy the baking sticks instead of the tubs because it makes measuring for baking so much easier! I also love the dairy free chocolate chips or chunks from Trader Joes.
