These amazing Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are the real deal!  They are so EASY to make. Chewy with crisp edges and loaded with chocolate.  Mix in one bowl, chill and bake!  That’s it!

There are a couple of tips that will help achieve the perfect vegan chocolate chip cookie.

Expert Tips

• Spoon flour into a measuring cup and level off with a knife, to avoid adding excess flour to the recipe.  Alternatively use a scale to weigh the flour.
• Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.  Ideally, if you have space in your fridge, scoop cookies onto the baking tray before refrigerating the dough.  Refrigerate the tray with the scooped cookies, for 30 minutes.  Place the cold tray directly into the preheated oven.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 20 minutes.
• Use a good creamy vegan milk like canned coconut milk or oat milk.

Ingredients in Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Did you know you can make your own brown sugar?

And why you might wonder, would you want to do that?  Here is why I do it:

• some brown sugar has added ingredients like carmel coloring-( a not so healthy chemical).
• organic brown sugar can be expensive.
• it is quick and easy to make!

Sugar cane, in its pure form, naturally has molasses in it that is extracted out in the refining process.  So we are basically just adding the molasses back in.  If you want light brown sugar, add a little, if you want to make dark brown sugar add more.

Mix in with a fork until fully incorporated.

It is even easier if you use a food processor or stand mixer with the whisk attachment.  Make a bigger batch and store for later use!

How to make Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step one

Cream together softened vegan butter or coconut oil with the brown sugar, using a hand mixer or by hand with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.  Add milk and vanilla, fully beat until fluffy.

Step two

Spoon flour into a the measuring cup and level off with a knife, to avoid adding excess flour to the recipe.

Step three

Move the sugar mixture to one side of the bowl and add flour, baking soda and salt to the bowl on the other side, give the dry ingredients a quick mix.  Blend sugar mixture with flour mixture until fully incorporated.

Step four

Mix in the chocolate chips.  Along with any other additions.

Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes minimum.  This is really key!

Step five

Scoop 1.5 ounce cookies onto a baking tray.  Bake in a preheated oven, middle rack, for 12-14 minutes.

Step six

Let cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.  The cookies will be very soft fresh out of the oven but they will firm up.

Variations & Ways to Adapt

• add 1 teaspoon ground coffee for a delicious depth.
• vanilla bean paste or powder instead of extract.
• add orange zest.
• add nuts, coconut and dried cranberries.
• sprinkle with coarse salt crystals before baking.
