Ingredients

  • Butter: I use organic salted butter. If you’re vegan you can use vegan butter in its place.
  • Vanilla Extract: Use a high quality vanilla extract, not imitation.
  • Milk: You can use cow’s milk or vegan milk. I love making these with coconut milk because I love coconut!
  • Baking Powder: I use baking powder here as there is no acid to react with baking soda. Check out Difference Between Baking Soda and Baking Powder for more info on leavening agents.
  • Mini Chocolate Chips: I love using organic mini dark chocolate chips in this recipe for chocolate in every bite. You can’t also use regular chocolate chips if you prefer.
