Made for the vegan cookie monster in all us all, these vegan chocolate chip cookies are soft and gooey.
Plant-based diets don’t have to be boring ALL of the time do they??!
These vegan chocolate chip cookies will just melt away in your mouth!
They are chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
Now it’s time to make your cookie dreams come true.
Substitutions
You could add some cocoa into the cookie recipe, to give you vegan DOUBLE chocolate chop cookies.
Instead of chocolate you could add peanut butter. Yum. Would give you added protein and ‘good fats’ too!
You could try replacing some the flour with ground oatmeal, this adds a little more flavor.
Nutrition Info
Ok, I hold my hands up. I can’t exactly call these little beauties ‘healthy.’
BUT, they are cookies. NO-ONE says I want to be super healthy today and then grabs the first cookie they see, that’s not the purpose of eating cookies. Cookies are treats.
Let’s take the wins where we can get them. These cookies are dairy free. That’s a good start. They are also only 88 calories per cookie, so you could happily eat two in a day and it wouldn’t impact on anything.
Enjoy your cookies and just know that they are animal product free and delicious, sometimes that’s all that matters!

Method
This vegan cookie recipe is pretty easy. These are VEGAN cookies! So more than ever, just enjoy making them and get into the cookie spirit.
Do not over cook your cookies. A light browning when they come out of the oven is enough, otherwise they may go hard rather than chewy after cooling. For best results cook on the middle rack of the oven.
These cookies are great as they are, BUT if you’re looking to go one step further and keep the kids occupied a little longer then why not decorate your cookies? Sprinkles, colored sugar or icing can all add some extra sparkle to your day.
Here are some pics of the different stages for you to refer to.
Top Tip
If you are not eating them all straight out of the oven and need to keep them for a few days, store in a plastic air tight container to retain chewiness. If you have one, store with half a piece of bread.
Also it’s best to eat them within 2-3 days, before they start to lose their amazingness.
