Before you begin, preheat oven to 350F/177C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a spatula, mix together in a large bowl the vegan butter, brown sugar and organic cane sugar until well-combined.
Add the plant milk, baking soda, baking powder, salt and almond flour to bowl and mix until combined. Your dough should be slightly sticky. If it is too dry, add unsweetened almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten. If too wet, add a bit more almond flour.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Shape the dough into little balls rolling it in your hands until smooth. Place the balls (you should have about 12 of them) on your prepared baking sheet leaving enough space in between so the cookies have room to expand.
Bake for 14-15 minutes, until the bottom of the cookies turn golden brown. Remove and let cool before serving so the cookies don't fall apart.

Don't Overmix: Overmixing the cookie dough can result in tough cookies. Mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid developing too much gluten, which can lead to a denser texture.
Chill the Dough: Chilling the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (or even overnight) before baking helps solidify the fats in the dough, resulting in cookies that spread less during baking and have a chewier texture.
Add Flavor Enhancers: Enhance the flavor of your cookies with ingredients like vanilla extract, almond extract, or spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. These additions can elevate the taste profile of your vegan chocolate chip cookies.
Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies while they're baking, as vegan cookies may require slightly less time in the oven compared to traditional cookies. Bake until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
Cool Properly: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from breaking apart while still warm.
