Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
¼ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp fine salt
1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips

For serving

flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp water until combined. Set aside for at least 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a gel.
2
Melt the vegan butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the foam subsides and the butter turns golden and smells nutty, 4–6 minutes. Watch closely — vegan butter can go from golden to scorched quickly. Pour immediately into a large mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
