Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

IMG_4153.jpg

When I Google a recipe I narrow my search by starting with the word “best”. When it comes to vegan recipes this strategy has always turned out really well for me. Within mere seconds, I discovered this excellent recipe from Daily Rebecca’s blog and now it is the only one I use for chocolate chip cookies.

I made just one modification by adding one flax egg (1 tbsp. ground flax meal and 3 tbsp. water, let stand for 15 minutes in fridge).

These freeze perfectly and in fact taste pretty delicious frozen, too!

The BEST Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Author: veganhousewives.com
Recipe type: Dessert/Vegan
Prep time: 
Cook time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 12-15 cookies
Ingredients:
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour (please note alternate flours WILL change the outcome of the recipe!)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (Trader Joe’s chocolate chips are accidentally vegan!)
Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Cream (aka thoroughly mix) together the coconut oil & brown sugar, then add the almond milk & vanilla. The mixture may be really “liquidy” this is OK.
  3. In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  4. Combine the wet & dry ingredients (it WILL BE crumbly – this is OK), then fold in the chocolate morsels & any other mix-ins of your choosing.
  5. Roll into Tbsp sized balls & place them on an ungreased cookie sheet (or on a sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet), then flatten them out a bit with your palm. The dough may be a little crumbly, but just smoosh it together and it will work fine!
  6. Bake for 7-10 minutes. (I did 8 which was perfect)
