Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Start by creaming together the plant-based butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Then add plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar, mixing until fully combined for a creamy base.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, natural gelling agent, baking powder, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until you have a smooth dough.
  3. Divide and Color: Split the dough into two bowls. Leave one bowl plain and stir additional natural cocoa powder and a little extra plant-based milk into the other until you achieve a dark, chocolaty mixture.
  4. Create the Swirls: Alternately spoon the light and dark dough into your cookie tray, then use a skewer or fork to gently swirl the two colors together to form beautiful patterns without overmixing.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the swirled dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12 to 15 minutes until edges are firm but the centers remain soft and chewy.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix during swirling to keep distinct patterns.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for better texture.
  • Chill dough if too sticky for easier handling.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Watch baking times closely to avoid drying out cookies.
