Notes

Natural cocoa powder just means it is not Dutch-processed. I like Ghirardelli, but Hershey’s cocoa powder will also work!
It can be hard to tell when these Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies are done since the cookie dough is already a deep brown color. So, my first tip is to be sure to set a timer!
Second, you can gently and carefully touch the edge of a cookie with a finger. The edge of the cookies should feel set while the center of the cookie is still soft.
And for evenly sized cookies, use a cookie scoop!
