Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Melt 3 tablespoons vegan butter in the microwave for 20 seconds, swirling to melt remaining bits.

In a large bowl, add 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/3 cup cane sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt; stir to combine.

In another bowl, mix together the melted butter, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons plant milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until it foams up.

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Using a small cookie scoop or a regular spoon, scoop the dough onto the baking sheet, packing it with your hands to form cookie shapes.

Press the dough down slightly with two fingers to tidy the edges.

Bake in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes until lightly browned around the edges, checking at 10 minutes on the upper middle rack.
