Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a mixing bowl, add the vegan butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Using a hand mixer, cream everything together until smooth. Add the milk and vanilla extract until combined. Gently fold through the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold through your mix-ins of choice, reserving a few to top the cookies with.
If you prefer thicker cookies, cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the dough for an hour.
Using your hands, roll out 16 balls of cookie dough. Place 8 balls of cookie dough onto each baking sheet, around 2-inches apart to ensure they have enough room to spread.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to look cooked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes, before serving.
