Tucker is a steer who was purchased at birth from a petting zoo and given to CAS by a mother and daughter who became attached to him during their visit.

 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
 1 tsp baking soda
 ½ tsp salt
 1 cup vegan butter, softened(look for sticks as they are easier to measure)
 ¾ cup granulated sugar
 ¾ cup brown sugar
 1 tsp vanilla extract
 2 cups vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
 1 cup nuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 375ºF degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using a hand or stand mixer, beat together in a separate bowl the vegan butter, granulated and brown sugars, and vanilla until light and creamy.

Gradually beat in flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared baking trays. Use a portion scoop for uniform size.

Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking trays or transfer to wire cooling rack. Dunk in a glass of cold, plant-based milk!
