Soft and Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
The best homemade vegan chocolate chip cookies! Soft, chewy, and just the right amount of chocolate chips. You will love these delicious cookies - and the best part is they are dairy-free!
There is nothing better than a tray of freshly baked, homemade chocolate chip cookies coming out of the oven. You agree, right?
Then trust me when I tell you that you’re going to LOVE this cookie recipe.
Soft. Chewy. Vegan. Easy.
We’re talking 20 minutes start-to-finish, people.
To make these soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, all you need is a handful of ingredients, a bowl, a baking sheet, and an oven.
No waiting for dough to rise, no dirtying a bunch of dishes - IT’S REAL S I M P L E.
Go ahead a preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line your baking sheet and set it aside.
Then you’re going to melt your butter. I personally love the Earth Balance brand. Unsalted. But any brand you prefer is fine.
From there, follow the directions below and add each ingredient in the order provided. It’s all going into one bowl which is just the best!
One thing to note is that we will be using flax seed eggs in this recipe. Check the Notes section for details on this if you’re not sure how they work - IT’S SO EASY, THO. So don’t worry about that, k?
Once you get everything mixed in the bowl, fold in the chocolate chip. An important step here is to eat a handful of them while doing so hehe.
Now we are ready to bake! I like to use an ice cream scooper to scoop the dough and make it easy to arrange on the baking tray. The scoop I use is a 1.5 tablespoon scoop I believe. Using this size you will make about 12-15 cookies. I wouldn’t go bigger than that but you can go smaller if you like!
The directions say bake for 8-10 minutes, because every oven is different. I would recommend hitting that 10 minute mark (as long as your cookies aren’t too golden brown by then) only because the cookies are made to be soft and chewy even when baked for the full time. So if you’re after that half-baked cookie situation, don’t worry - you’ll get it with baking it for the full time.
Alright! If you have any other questions drop them in the comments and I’ll get back to you.
Happy baking!
