Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Like most people, I LOVE cookies! They’re one of my favorite things to bake, eat and gift! There’s nothing better than seeing the look on someone’s face when you give them a fresh batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies. Warm, sweet, and so gooey… what’s not to love?
More than a few of my friends live vegan lifestyles, so I’ve been feeling inspired to create a delicious recipe for soft and chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies! I wanted the recipe to taste just like my classic everyday chocolate chip cookies, but be made with cruelty-free ingredients that everyone can enjoy.
And guess what? After exactly 7 recipes fails, I did it!!! And it was worth the work, you guys. Because these are the most wonderful vegan chocolate chip cookies ever. REALLY! The best part of this recipe is that these cookies taste so much like traditional chocolate chip cookies, no one even knows they’re vegan. In fact many of my friends have told me these are the best cookies I’ve ever baked. And I bake a TON of cookies.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
- Instead of vegan butter, this recipe is made with coconut oil. It gives the cookies a delightful taste and texture. Not a fan of coconut flavor? Not a problem! Just be sure to select refined coconut oil, which has a neutral scent and flavor. But if you love coconut flavor, you’ll want to select unrefined coconut oil, which has a strong – but not – overwhelming coconut scent and flavor.
And if you REALLY love coconut, try adding a 1/2 cup of toasted coconut flakes to the cookie dough. It’s a coconut lovers dream!!!
- I have not tested this recipe with vegan butter or any other alternative, so I cannot advise on substitutions.
- Because coconut oil turns into a liquid state when warm, you’ll want to make sure your coconut oil is solidified before incorporating it in this recipe. It doesn’t need to be rock hard, but it should be solid and easily scoop-able. If your coconut oil is too runny, simply stick it in the fridge for a little while. It will firm up.The consistency of the coconut oil is so important because we’re not chilling the dough before baking the cookies. So if the consistency is off, the cookies will spread too much, or not enough.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
- I could seriously eat a large bowl of this cookie dough because it tastes so good! And doesn’t have any yucky raw egg in it. But I resist (most of the time) because the baked cookies are even better. And because eating raw flour isn’t the smartest thing to do. But I digress. Visually, the raw cookie dough should look like this ↓
How to Fix Sticky Dough
If the cookie dough appears too sticky, add in a little more flour. And if your cookie dough appears too firm, add in a little more non-dairy milk. It should be soft but not mushy, and firm but not hard. Basically it should look like traditional cookie dough. Unfortunately, I don’t suggest freezing this cookie dough. I’ve done it a few times in the past with not great results. But the vegan cookies will “keep”, stored in an airtight container for a few days. And you can definitely freeze the baked cookies!
Where to find Vegan Chocolate Chips?
There are a ton of vegan and dairy free chocolate brands out there these days! Some are great, and others aren’t… so I suggest trying out a few and finding a brand that you really enjoy. And of course, you don’t have to use chocolate chips. Chocolate chunks would also be delicious in these cookies! And if your not 100% vegan, you can use any chocolate brand you want. I’m not vegan, so I often use my favorite Lindt dark chocolate to make (almost) vegan chocolate chunk cookies. We also love the enjoy life brand!
If you can’t find vegan chocolate chips or chocolate chunks in your local grocery store, search online. I know amazon sells vegan chocolate chips and chocolate bars.
The remaining dry ingredients called for in this cookie recipe are pretty basic! Flour, light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. I haven’t tried making these gluten free, but I’ve been told by several readers that 1-for-1 gluten free flours do work well in this recipe. So if you’re gluten intolerant, it might be worth experimenting with. Almond flour and coconut flour should not be used in this recipe! They will not work. Whole wheat flour may be used, but the cookies will be much darker in color and a little less chewy.
In addition to the flour mixture, you’ll also need applesauce and non-dairy milk. I’ve had the best results with full-fat coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can), but almond milk and even soy milk will work in a pinch. I haven’t tested this recipe with homemade applesauce, but as long as it’s unsweetened, I think it should work. I also think an equal amount of very ripe mashed bananas would work as a replacement for the applesauce. But this would definitely add a banana flavor. So experiment at your own risk.
How to Bake Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Unlike most cookie recipes that instruct you to preheat oven to 350, these cookies call for a slightly higher oven temperature of 375. The higher temperature yields cookies that are crispy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
- I like to make these cookies BIG. And use a large cookie scoop to create the monster sized cookies you see in my photos. Of course you may make them smaller or even larger, but will need to adjust the baking time. Small cookies will bake quite fast (I suggest you start checking them around 6 minutes) and larger ones take longer to bake (I suggest you check them around 9 minutes).
- Finally, be sure you don’t over bake these cookies! They only need 9 to 12 minutes in the oven, and will firm up quite a bit as they cool. Over baked cookies will be dry and crumbly… not chewy like we want!
I like to press a few extra chocolate chips on top of the warm vegan chocolate chip cookies right when they come out of the oven. This step is optional. Personally I can never have too much chocolate in, ON, or around my cookies lolol. But I’m a chocoholic… so that shouldn’t come as a surprise. You can also sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt, which adds a nice flavor contrast. And if you really want to go over the top, pick up some vegan ice cream and use these cookies to make homemade vegan ice cream cookie sandwiches. You’ll thank me for that little tip this Summer haha.
The hardest part of this recipe? WAITING FOR THE COOKIES TO COOL!!! I suggest cooling these cookies at least 15 minutes before moving them from the baking sheet. But they taste the best when you wait at least 30 minutes before eating them, so I suggest placing them on a cooling rack to firm up for a bit. This brief cooling period allows the cookies to firm up a bit, but they’ll still be warm and gooey when you bite in.
Vegan chocolate chip cookies that don’t taste one bit vegan. Bake now, thank me later 😉

The Most Wonderful Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, solid but scoop-able
- 1 and 1/4 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (I like to use the thicker Thai variety, but any coconut milk will work)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 and 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (be sure not to pack your flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips (use vegan chocolate chips if vegan), divided
- Flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a large bowl whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, and vanilla, beating until well combined. Add in the coconut milk and applesauce and whisk until well combined; set aside. In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; whisk well to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and, using a wooden spoon or very sturdy spatula, stir until ingredients are combined. The batter will be very thick! Fold in 1 and 3/4 cups of the chocolate chips.
- Scoop three tablespoon sized mounds of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving a few inches between each cookies for spreading. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers have set. Press remaining chocolate chips on top of warm cookies, and sprinkle with sea salt, if using. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
I am not vegan, but these cookies are calling out to me. They look delicious – a MUST try!
They’re one of my favorite cookies! You can’t even tell they’re vegan 🙂
Made these tonight…boy not only easy but delicious!
Does it make a difference what kind of salt you use for baking?
No, I just use what I have
Can we make this cookie using curd instead of applesauce
I just finished baking these healthy delish cookies . Wow I am amazed !
I used to make it with butter and eggs prior to being vegan so I was sceptical.
Followed the recipe except I doubled the coconut butter (used miyokos) 1 cup instead of the 1/2 cup.
Added raisins coconut and oats , they have always been everyone’s fav family cookie but now healthy and I don’t feel guilty !
Thank you so much !
The recipe does not call for vegan butter, only coconut oil and milk. Did you substitute the oil for bitter?
Want to make these tonight but not sure if I should use semisweet chocolate chips or milk chocolate??
‘milk’ is not vegan. use semisweet chocolate.
Maybe he/she isn’t vegan!
also semi sweet isn’t vegan
Semi sweet also has milk in it.
The is vegan chocolate chips Cindy
Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips are dairy free 🙂
Nowadays they have amazing vegan rice milk chocolate, as well as other dairy free chocolates ranging from dark to white. Milk chocolate vegan chips can usually be found at target, Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods, or lost anywhere else. They contain no milk, but are considered milk chocolate still.
It will be vegan milk chocolate thats used..
Nestle makes Simply Delicious chocolate chips that are Vegan. Only contain 3 ingredients. Made this recipe with these chocolate chips and they are delicious!
Nestle are one of the worst companies in the world, destroying the planet as well as ruining and taking advantage of some of the poorest human lives .. Boycott Nestle, if you are a vegan for ethical or environmental reasons you should definitely also avoid Nestle.
Never use milk chocolate for cookies! either semi sweet or dark!
Semisweet always tastes better to me.
Ok I did EVERYTHING in the recipe yet mine came out “ cake like” and puffy. Not flat. What did I do wrong?
mine did too! i can’t figure out why…
Any suggestions for freezing these cookies?
Miss you accidentally use self raising flour???
Cake like cookies are a result of overmixing and incorporating too much air
Mine too!
Mine too!
Mine too!.
Maybe trying cooking a little less so they will fall.
No one cares, Emily.
That’s usually caused by mixing the flour with the fat (coconut oil) then adding the liquid (coconut milk) but if you followed the instructions then it should have worked and I can’t be much help to you.
As far as spreading, you could flatten them before going in the oven.
She said, “The first ingredient called for in this recipe is coconut oil. It is very important your coconut oil is solid before you begin making the cookie dough. If you live in a considerably warm climate, you may need to place your coconut oil in the fridge to get it into a solid but scoop able state.” Perhaps the oil was not solid enough.
I have flattened some of my cookies prior to cooking. Also there are semi-chocolate chips vegan. Enjoy Life makes them. They are made with non dairy cocoa butter.
Omg amazing recipe!!! Best one I’ve tried so far. Also they DO* taste vegan and that’s absolutely a compliment. Nothing tasty about animal discharge 🙂
I think because the recipe doesn’t call for granulated sugar. It makes them very light and cake like. I am going to remake them again with less brown sugar and some granulated sugar and see if that solves the problem.
Any results to share?
me too
Did you use baking powder instead of baking soda?
Due to the baking soda, if you left the dough out for 5 or 10 minutes before putting it in the oven, it will cause the dough to rise into a cake like better.
mine came out puffy as well, but so tasty I don’t even care. My boyfriend is vegan, can’t wait to surprise him with them tomorrow!
I wish mine came out puffy and cake-like. mine spread WIDE ;( kinda disappointed, but they’re good. I followed everything, step by step.
Mine were thick, which I’d prefer, and the next day so moist! So delicious! Thank you for this awesome recipe!!!
Try using a little less flour
Press them down with a fork before baking.
How do you store these?
Which brand of chocolate are you using? Most chocolate chips are made with milk, making this vegetarian not vegan.
Trader Joe’s!!
Guittard semi-sweet chocolate chips are Vegan and pretty good.
Very true i had no idea they were vegan untill mu daighter in law told me I eat them as a snack, but fyi they are made in the same facility and on the same machinery that makes not vegan chips. If that doesn’t bother you well you’re all good. Just wanted to mention it’s for milk allergies.
You can find egan choc chipsin many places. I like the enjoy life brand.
As a working pastry chef I have to disagree. I haven’t been in the industry for very long(15 years) but most chocolate is vegan. A chef has to make a special effort to use milk chocolate to not accidentally use vegan.
All the standard brands of chocolate chips have milk in them, including nestle, Ghiradelli , and kirdkland brand. Read the labels, you’ll see.
Most *good* chocolate is vegan. Most crappy brands of chocolate will have added milk.
Hi! Can you make this gluten free and achieve the same (or closest) result? Thanks!
I haven’t tried, but some readers have said they’ve had good results!
Hi, I make these using 1 for 1 gluten free flour, and have had nothing but success.
You really can NOT tell they are vegan! They are so sooo good! I also can just enjoy the cookie dough without the guilt or risk of eating raw eggs. I might add some chopped toasted walnuts next time. 🙂
Yes but you are eating raw flour which can cause illness just as much if not more often than the raw eggs.
Hi
These look so delicious. I am planning on making them for Thanksgiving.
Can i use margarine butter if i don’t have coconut oil?
Thank you.
I haven’t tried that, so I can’t say! Let me know how it turns out if you try!
I made these today they were delicious
These cookies are delicious. I used regular mini choc chips and they were perfect. I baked 2 tbsp per cookie for 350 for 13 min. Yum!
did you use the same measurements for the mini choc chips? i just got all the ingredients but my store only had mini vegan semi-sweet and dark morsels so i went for the semi-sweet mini.
Very good.
The recipe seems delicious, will try and if it succeeds may post it also on my blog! Can we substitute the applause for which ingredient?
I had success with vegan yoghurt
My mom made me make these for her today, I don’t like to eat stuff that is unhealthy and my diet is completely plant based (unlike my somewhat nonsupporting family). BUT I JUST HAD TO TRY A NIBBLE! These cookies are really good especially with almond milk, i’ll just try not to get too addicted.
I mixed up flours quite a bit here, used olive oil, rice milk, and stevia powder. Granted, they didn’t spread, I had to press them down some minutes in but they were still the best cookies I’d ever made. Apart from using sugar I’ll definitely be experimenting more. This is the best and simplest This Kind of Cookie recipe I’ve ever encountered, thanks so much!
Can I use quinoa or almond flour ?
I dont think you should use Quinoa. This recipe is perfect. I love these cookies.
These cookies are AMAZING! I love the coconut flavor with the chocolate. My son who is a picky eater LOVED this recipe!
What do you mean by “be sure not to pack your flour”?
That means you should spoon the flour into your measuring cup until it’s full, then even it out. This is the more accurate way to measure flour. You can accidentally add extra flour by scooping directly with the measuring cup.
The *most* accurate way to measure flour is by weight. A kitchen scale is so easy to get and makes for much more precision. I can’t believe how many people are still using volume measurements for dry ingredients.
These are the BEST cookies ever. I’ve made them 5 times now for different occasions and I’ve got nothing but positive reactions. People beg me to make them for them now. Amazing.
AMAZING! I’m pinning for if/when I ever need vegan ccc’s!
Seriously they’re so good I make them even when I’m not serving vegan friends 🙂
I’m so disappointed that this recipe calls for all purpose flour. The rest of the ingredients are great! I don’t eat wheat or gluten. Could you suggest a substitution?
I made with cassava and they were delicious!
I used bob’s red mill gluten free baking flour amd it turned out great!!
Why don’t yo I just use the gf all purpose flour. Bob’s mill hasn’t a good brand.
We are a gluten free house. I can modify almost any recipe by substituting the regular flour with a gluten free all purpose flour. I made these cookie with a flax egg instead of apple sauce…2 tbsp ground flax and 6 tbsp water. Mix and let sit for 2-3 minutes then add to your cookie dough wet ingredients. In doing that and substituting with 2 1/4 c gf flour they baked flat as can be. Ugh! So I added another 1/2 c of the gf flour to the remaining batter and they turned out much better. Good luck!
Try coconut flour. I use it in a lot of baking. It is delicious!
I used almond flour and they turned out great! I’m making them again tonight since my husband requested them!
My daughter and I use half buckwheat flour and half oat flour. I buy Bob’s Red Mill gluten free oats and we blend them into flour in the blender. I use a regular size cookie scoop and make them a little bigger. They turn out amazing.
I used gluten free flour and they turned out delicious.
Almond flour is a healthy alternative
I don’t think almond flour would work with this recipe, but if you try it, we’d love to hear your results 🙂
Agreed!! Definitely better quality and healthier options like coconut and almond flour!
I don’t really think of chocolate chip cookies as a health food… 🙂
Hi! I’m from Brazil and we don’t have applesauce here… Can I substitute for other ingredient or there’s a way to make it? Thanks (:
I used a banana rather than apple sauce. They still turned out great and very moist! Just a hint of banana taste however.
Do you have apples in Brazil? If so, peel off the skin. Cut the flesh into small pieces. Place in pout with a little bit of water. Cook on a low -medium heat until soft. Mash with a potato masher or fork to make the applesauce. Look on Google for an applesauce recipe.
You can make applesauce quite easily from scratch using 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/2 cup of water per quart of quartered, cored apples. (I usually make about 3 quarts, so it would be: 3 tsp lemon juice, 1.5 cups water, 3 quarts cored and quartered apples. Add all to a pot and bring to a simmer. You want to stir the mixture pretty constantly as it begins to cook down. The apples should become very soft, the cooking time is typically around 30 minutes.
Once the apples have become soft and “mushy”, remove from heat. At this point, you can use a potato ricer or blender to create a viscous consistency.
Sugar is optional in this recipe, I prefer without. I like to either add cinnamon sticks to the pot before cooking, or ground cinnamon after to the finished product (to taste).
That’s amazing thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️ Have been wondering the same, but in Scotland – don’t think we have apple sauce either – so will make my own too! Thanks for the recipe as well sounds amazing – can’t wait to try it and so happy to have found your site!
You can also just stick an apple in a high speed blender or food processor. That’s what I did and my cookies came out great.
You can easily make applesauce. Just chopp apples and cook them with a little water until soft. Then blend until smooth. I do it all the time!
I used aquafaba (liquid from the chickpea can, 3tbsp) and turned out perfect!
I have read that this liquid d is an amazing binder. I would prefer not to buy cans- I imagine it would also work to use the water from boiled, fresh garbanzos.
No, I’ve read that aquafaba from fresh is not the same and that using that requires a lot of know-how about the subject.
You can just reduce it by heat to make it stickier. Cans are bad for yo health. I pressure cook my beans and freeze the rest in glass jars and still works
Peel, core and chop an apple and cook it on the stove top or microwave and it will become applesauce. There should be recipes on the internet if you want.
I used date syrup – equal parts pitted dates with water and a little squeeze of lemon. Run it all in a blender until smooth. I added the same amount, 1/4 cup, instead of apple sauce. Turned out just fine.
My daughter has severe food allergies to dairy and eggs so we love finding recipes like this that we can all enjoy. Thank you so much ! I can’t wait to try these!
Could I sub the coconut oil for vegan butter. And the coconut milk for almond milk?
I just saw your recommendation about no substitutions, lol
Hi Isha. Yes, with this recipe I really do not recommend substitutions as I had a lot of fails before finding the perfect combination of ingredients. That said, if you give those subs a try, I’d love to hear how the cookies turn out 😉 Happy baking!
I did not have the coconut milk, so I upped the applesauce by 1/4 cup. Turned out Great! Will try with the milk next time!
Hey just piggybacking,
What would you suggest for the gluten free folks our here ? They look absolutely amazing can’t wait to try it out
Hi Mae. I’ve never tried baking these GF, so I can’t say for sure, however I think using a 1 for 1 GF flour in place of the all purpose flour might work 🙂
It depends on the gluten free flour blend – I like the one by Namaste foods, which has always worked reliably for me at a 1:1 ratio, and doesn’t give baked goods an odd taste like many others I’ve tried. This brand can be found on Amazon for around $17-18 for a 5lb bag.
I substitued coconut milk for cashew milk and used homemade apple sauce : turned delicious!
Sorry but I did use coconut oil (not solid) and organic coconut sugar and organic coconut milk (in can)- that’s a must! They are great and I am vegan and have tried other recipes! Mine turned out darker (because of the sugar and genuine vanilla extract but the taste is great)!
WHERE CAN I PURCHASE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIPS? JUST LOOKING AT THE COOKIES, MAKES ME WANT TO TRY THAT RECIPE RIGHT AWAY! FOR YEARS EVER SINCE A LITTLE BOY,ALWAYS LOVE CHOCOLATE CHIPS COOKIES. NOTHING BEATS HOMEMADE FRESH COOKIES OF ANY VARIETY.
on amazon! this brand is the best: https://www.amazon.com/Enjoy-Life-Semi-Sweet-Mini-Chips-Gluten-Free/dp/B00UHCJYW6/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520185108&sr=8-4&keywords=vegan+chocolate+chips&dpID=41Oy7rGUVeL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I do like the enjoy life brand but they are expensive. I get mine at Trader Joe’s and they are only 1.99 a bag!
Do you Live near a Wegman’s? They have a store brand that is vegan
Can you try a ccc recipe with coconut flour ?? I’ve been experimenting and haven’t had any luck perfecting it 🙁
Pretty good recipe! Although, these didn’t spread out and appear like the picture for me. Still chewy though. Tasted strongly of coconuts fresh out of the oven but tasted even better the next day 🙂
Make sure you use refined coconut oil for no coconut taste!
These are, hands down, the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made from scratch. Not just the best vegan chocolate chip cookies–the best chocolate chip cookies, period. Perfectly chewy with crisp edges and just the right amount of sweetness. Tried these because I was so impressed with the double chocolate vegan cookies, and definitely was not let down. Please consider posting more vegan recipes!
Thank you, me too like this.
These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever, period.
I did have to make a few minor ingredient replacements but they turned out perfect. (One flax egg instead of applesauce, full fat creamy oat milk instead of coconut milk, only one cup instead of two cups of choc chips because I was low on them, greased foil because I was out of parchment paper.)
Chewy gooey on the inside and a slight golden crisp on the outside. The dough is delicious so I took that as a good sign. I baked for 8.5 minutes and although a little puffy right out of the oven, they looked perfect after cooling. I’m obsessed and I’m kind of a cookie snob. Way to go.
These are delightful! Not vegan, but I always enjoy desserts with coconut flavor and chocolate, so this recipe satisfies my craving perfectly.
So glad you enjoyed them, Emma 🙂
Why do you say NOT VEGAN??
So so so good! Just made a batch and took a bite and I’m in love. Crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside. Tastes like a light chocolate chip cookie without an overbearing chocolate flavor with just a hint of the applesauce under the sweet chocolate.
I have tried many vegan cookie recipes and this is by far my favorite. Some nonvegans said they had a strong coconut flavor, but not in a bad way. I made this a few times now and once I made them into oatmeal cookies by adding cinnamon and nutmeg to the flour mixture, leaving out the chocolate chips, and adding oats. I also refrigerated the dough and they came out AMAZING. Thank you so much for this recipe!! It’s incredible.
Did you use refined or unrefined coconut oil?
Literally the best cookies EVER!! Made a big batch of dough to freeze so I can bake these whenever I want! I’m obsessed. Thank you for this recipe!! 🙂
I just made these cookies and I have one word…Amazing!! I substituted the coconut milk for almond milk and they were delicious! Definitely keeping this recipe!
This sounds so yummy! I’m going to try them. How do they keep? Specifically, how long will they remain soft and chewy?
These were so good and easy to make! I used Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour and it turned out great.
The best thing about these cookies are that they’re vegan. You CANNOT tell!! They taste delicious. Without a doubt would I recommend… I ate half the dough before I even baked the rest. 🙂
I just made a batch and they are amazing! Mine were more cakey than chewy but still good. What can I add to ensure they are chewy?
I wonder if maybe yours came out cakey because the dough wasn’t sticky enough? Maybe try a tad more coconut milk?
I used oat milk instead of coconut milk and accidentally poured in one cup instead of a quarter cup. I threw in a handful of oats to try and compensate and thought I was past the point of no return. I sadly poured the batter into a baking pan and baked it for 18 minutes. Turned out great!
Mine were cakey too! But good. I’m wondering if adding more flour will take that away. Had I added more milk, the dough would have been watery. I think the flour would have made the dough thicker as mine wasnt super thick like the directions suggested.
My family just went vegan about 6 months ago and we have been transitioning all of our old recipe to vegan ones. But cookies was not one I was comfortable with tweaking, so I’m so glad I found yours! My entire family thought they were just regular chocolate chip cookies! Thanks for the recipe, I will be checking out your site for more!
Made these for my kids they were a big winner and were gone in a few days!
These are delicious!!! We had to sub for gluten free flour which required a longer baking time but the taste was incredible and we will definitely be making these again!
this recipe looks so delicious, so i’m very glad to read this because i saw that it’s best not to substitute anything. however we are a vegan and gluten free eating family. can i ask, did you follow the recipe exactly and for how much longer did you bake them?
oops…. i meant did you follow the recipe exactly, with the exception of subbing the flour for gf flour? 🙂
Amen! Absolutely the best. It’s summer here in Seattle so I put the coconut oil in the fridge to firm up and then after I’d combined all the ingredients I put the bowl in the refrigerator so the dough would be a good consistency. I followed the recipe and got three dozen medium size cookies. Wow! I used vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips. In your photos in looks like sea salt flakes were sprinkled on top of the cookies. There’s no mention of that. After taking them out of the oven I put a few flakes on half the cookies. Fantastic. Makes everything “pop.”
Can the dough be made ahead of time and then frozen to use at a later date?
Girllllll! This recipe is on point!!! Made them for my Boyfriend and he is now the happiest man ever.
YAY!!! So happy to hear it, Yazzi 🙂
Hi, looks like a great recipe…but how many cookies does it make? Thanks!
I just made these for the first time today, I used a dessert spoon to scoop the mixture and my batch made exactly 20 cookies. 🙂
My batch made 15 cookies
Decided to go vegan recently and I just made these cookies. I can’t believe how good they are! I think they’re better than a traditional chocolate chip cookies. Thank you so much for coming up with this recipe!
Can oats be added?? How much would you recommend if so?
I have a super duper strong dislike for coconut (unfortunately!!) I totally wish I liked it but I don’t. Does anyone have any suggestions for the coconut ingredients? I know it says no substitutions but I REALLY want to make these!
Thanks in advance!
I dont like cocunut milk or flavor in certain folds. Trust me when I tell you, you cannot taste even the slighlest trace of cocunut flavor. All i can taste is the delicious chocolate chip cookies (as I eat another while typing this)
I just made these like 10 minutes ago, I used homemade applesauce that was slightly sweetened and they turned out perfect.
I used So Delicious Cocunut Milk original and crisco coconut butter. I cannot taste coconut flavor in the cookies
Thanks for the tips!
We used almond milk and vegan butter it was awesome
Thank you! My husband has a coconut allergy, but my daughter has dairy and egg allergies. Going to try vegan butter and almond milk. Hoping to find a cookie for the whole family!
Bonnie, how’d they turn out with the vegan butter? I am interested in subbing the coconut oil with that as well.
I don’t like coconut. Never did. However I started trying the mix of Almond and COconut milk and acquired a taste for the milk in my smoothies. ( cannot handle the flakes)!! I also like the oil. Give I think a try you may be surprised
These are seriously good. I’ve been searching for a new cookie recipe, the consistency & flavour is perfect! I don’t love the taste of coconut but you can barely taste it. I added chopped pecans for some crunch. Also chilled the dough for a couple of hours & made more batches a couple of days later, still perfect.
All of my non-vegan friends & family absolutely love them, they were even surprised to find out they’re vegan.
New go-to cookie recipe! Thank you!
Hey any chance you can post the nutritional stats
On these cookies??!
Omgggggg! As a new vegan, the scariest part of this whole journey was how am I going to get by with my sweet tooth?! Sweet Jesus!!!! I came across this upon scrolling and now I am ADDICTIED. I also don’t say this lightly, as im very particular! I promised myself I’d only make these for my cheat meal on the weekends, but I just cannot resist, as I’m making another batch followings this post! Lol! thank you soo much for this. I’m so excited to not have to give up my love of chocolate chip cookies on my new journey.
I’m vegan and have a huge sweet tooth, and can promise you being vegan does not hinder it one bit!! Look up rawvana’s chocolate pudding on youtube, it’s yummy AND good for you!! I also make lots of smoothie bowls with acai or pity packets, frozen berries, banana, and then add in some healthy stuff like spinach, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Still tastes super sweet, and then you can top with chopped straws and bluebs, cacao nibs, granola… pretty much anything you like. Another favorite is banana nice cream, just blend up some frozen bananas in a high-speed blender and add almond butter or cacao powder to make it more chocolate-y. Seriously so good, and guilt free!!
Just thought I’d share some of my favorite healthy foods that taste like dessert for a fellow sweet-toothed vegan lol 🙂

I also make lots of smoothie bowls with acai or pity packets, frozen berries, banana, and then add in some healthy stuff like spinach, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Still tastes super sweet, and then you can top with chopped straws and bluebs, cacao nibs, granola… pretty much anything you like. Another favorite is banana nice cream, just blend up some frozen bananas in a high-speed blender and add almond butter or cacao powder to make it more chocolate-y. Seriously so good, and guilt free!!
Just thought I’d share some of my favorite healthy foods that taste like dessert for a fellow sweet-toothed vegan lol 🙂 alsooo our names rhyme
I love the taste of these cookies, however mine spread oyt super thin. Could my batter have been very sticky?? Should i add more flour next time? Regardless, its a great recipe.
These came out great! We were shocked how good they are since they are vegan. Hint of coconut but did not find it overwhelming. Will definatly ve keeping this recipe:)
Just made these. They turned out awesome. My persnickety hubby loves them. Thanks so much!
I made these tonight and they came out amazing!
WOW is all i gotta say!! I had been craving chocolate chip cookies and needed a recipe that did not include diary and found this recipe. Cookies turned out amazing!!! So delicious, that I had to do another batch. I only modified the amount of scoop per cookie to get a little smaller but more cookies! This recipe is a total Winner!!!
This is by far the best cookie recipe ever! I didn’t have coconut milk handy so I substituted for almond milk and they turned out just fine. All of my friends and coworkers were crazy about them. Definitely a hit even if you’re not vegan.
I’m so excited to try these! They look delish!!
Best vegan recipe I’ve tried so far!!!!!! Super thankful for your share, we loved them!!!!
Does this dough freeze well? I made some and they were AMAZING!! I have the ingredients on hand so I wanted to make some dough to freeze if possible.
Hi Erin. I’ve actually never tried freezing this dough, but I think it should!
Hi! So my friend raved about this recipe and I had to try it. I’d love some advice though…My cookies came so soft she oily:( They basically turned into an oily cookie cake in the oven. I didn’t change anything from the original recipe. Should i try using less coconut oil? Thank you!!
Hi Autumn. Hmm… was your coconut oil completely solid when you added it to the cookie dough?
enjoyed these SO much. super simple and so dang good. my entire family loved them too. your pictures are amazing by the way!
Yay! And thanks 🙂
These are reallly good cookies. I used a flax egg (mixed 2 tbsp ground flaxmeal and 5 tbsp water then used 1/4 C of the mixture). They didn’t turn out as fluffy as yours, but they were chewy and crisp. Kind of greasy.
Hi Cami. I’m glad you enjoyed them. The difference in our cookies was most likely due to the modifications you made to the recipe.
These were amazing!
Dang these definitely hit the spot. Thank you for all your effort in creating this recipe!
So glad to hear it 🙂
So, did you use the liquid part of the canned coconut milk, or the thick cream part? Or shake it up?
I always shake the can first 🙂
Thanks so much! Gonna be making these this weekend!
Seriously! My favorite new recipe! I’ve made these twice already in a week!
About how many cookies does this recipe make?
These are by FAR the BEST chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. I can’t believe I finally could find a recipe everyone in my family is crazy about, and we recently became vegan… So I was a happy camper when I found this recipe, even more so after eating half a dozen, warm out of the oven! These are dangerously good!! Surprisingly not too sweet either!
Will keep making these over and over again!
I am a “vegan” not by choice (breastfeeding daughter with milk/egg allergy) and have been so sad that I can’t seem to have anything good anymore. I’m 4 months in and so fed up with all my regular options for sweets. Just made these today. HOLY BUCKETS. Almost (ok–maybe even actually) better than the “classic” toll house chic chip cookies. I usually don’t do all the fancy garnishes, but my friend happened to have flaky salt so I put it on top—totally made them extra special. I used a hand mixer as the whisk didn’t seem to do anything to the solid coconut oil, but other than that followed recipe exactly. YUM!
I’m trying vegan out and came across this recipe on Pinterest. I was skeptical but in need of something “fun”. These were amazing! I just ate 3 and am tempted to go for one more! If vegan is this yummy….it might just work!
Oh YAY!!! So happy to hear it, Raven 🙂
These are fantastic! I used almond milk instead of coconut and replaced the coconut oil with earth balance butter, they came out amazing!! I also WAY overestimated what “3 tbs. mounds” meant and got cookies roughly 5 inches in diameter, so I had to leave them in for about 13 minutes. I can’t imagine what 2 cups of chocolate chips would be like in these though! I added just over 1 cup and it feels like plenty. Thanks for the great, easy recipe!
So happy these were a hit, Avery! And thank you for letting us know your adaptions 🙂
Hi, Avery!
Did you make your changes at 1:1? Considering trying these substitutions as well. Thanks!
Did you use sweetend or unsweetend almond milk?
I made these cookies for a party and they were a HUGE hit! Everyone asked me to post the recipe. They didn’t care they were vegan or not – they just loved them!
Has anyone who lives at a high altitude tried these cookies? They look delicious, but I live in Denver and I’m always leery of new recipes.
I’ve been craving something gooey and chocolatey. These look awesome and so simple. I literally can NOT wait for the weekend so I’ll have time to make them 🙂
I just wanted to tell you this recipe blew me away! I was looking for a vegan recipe for a work friend’s bday who can’t do dairy, eggs, or chocolate so I substituted butterscotch chips and the salt perfectly offsets the sweetness. They were a huge hit. Even more amazingly, my husband is a sweets fiend and this was our first try at vegan. I had him nervously taste them before I brought them to work and he asked me to make them again this week just for him. Well done and thank you!
The best chocolate chip cookie recipe!!!!! Crunchy and chewy, just perfect!! Can’t tell they are vegan.
Made these tonight, adding toffee bits (yes I know un-veganizing the recipe), but having tried the cookie dough before adding the toffee bits…. 150% DELECTABLE. NO way to tell that they are vegan. This recipe is beyond incredible. I am saving and adding to my recipe collection forever.
DELICIOUS!!! Might be better than regular chocolate chip cookies! THANK YOU!
These cookies were phenomenal. Brought them to a fall cookout and everyone loved them. They had no idea they were vegan in the slightest!
Can i use organic unrefined coconut oil ?
sure!
Will another non dairy milk work with these cookies?
Sure! You can use any brand you’d like 🙂
I’m confused by this answer as there is a big difference between canned coconut milk- really thick and creamy, versus thinner/watery coconut or almond milk that comes in cartons and is in the dairy section cooler next to cow’s milk. Which really works best please?
These cookies were delicious!!! I made them for some non-vegan family members and they loved them too! I added walnuts to the second batch. The cookies come out pretty flat but the are crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. I love the little bit of sea salt on top. They are just perfect! Thank you for this recipe!
So happy they were a hit, Ash! For thicker cookies, you could try adding an extra 1/4 cup of flour to the batter.
I LOVE ❤️ THESE! My hubby the way way too many. I used shredded coconut , sea salt caramel chips and coco palm sugar, and only the cream from He top of the coconut milk ……and they we’re amazing!
Hi there, could clarify the “whisking” of the solid coconut oil with the sugar? Do you mean beating with beaters? Using a whisk to blend doesn’t seem to work very well.
Vegan or not, these are the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had! Thank you for the recipe.
Oh. my. Goodness these are by Far the most amazing cookies ever!!!! I used almond milk instead of coconut milk. Still so delicious. My non-vegan husband has devoured the whole batc- with some help by me of course. I think I will make these again today. So easy ! Thank you so much! Xoxo
Did you us sweetend or umsweetend almomd milk?
I think people are confusing coconut milk that comes in a can and coconut ilk that comes in the milk department. I am assuming based upon the brand that you mean the coconut milk that comes in a can??
Has anyone ever tried these with a brown rice or almond flour or another gluten-free flour?
These were delicious but not chewy or gooey – more like cake. I followed recipe to a T, even made my own apple sauce. Any suggestions as to what happened here?
Not sure, maybe cook slightly less time.? Hand mix and don’t over stir? Measurments exact especially flour?
While i LOVE cake i am NOT a fan of cake cookies. I’ve made this recipe once but baked in two separate batches on different days and they were unbelievable! (Just made them 5 minutes ago) i would give it another chance. Take them out when browning on the edges and top. Push the extra chips in and salt. Hopefully it will be better
You would NEVER know they’re vegan. Sooooo delicious These are winners in my home. You will never go back to regular chocolate chips cookies.
All the comments are true! Just made these, best chocolate chip cookies! Perfect crispy edge and still soft and chewy on the inside!
The few times I’ve made this the coconut oil doesn’t fully mix in. It stays in chunks! Any recommendations? It’s fine to bake because it ends up melting, but thought I’d check! Love the cookies!!
I experienced the same problem last night so I used a fork to mash the solid coconut chunks after I used the mixer to blend. Worked perfectly!
I just made these for a friend who is doing no dairy while she’s nursing and they turned out SO GOOD!! I honestly don’t see a point in making “regular” chocolate chip cookies after this. 🙂
This recipe looks amazing.
Is it possible to get the nutritional facts for the the recipe?
Sound great! But confused, this recipe only makes 3 cookies?
These are scrumptious! I used unsweetened almond milk and whole wheat pastry flour instead of the coconut milk and all-purpose flour, and they still turned out great. I didn’t really notice much of a coconut flavour from the coconut oil which might be preferable for some people.
Hi bakerbynature!
Do you have the nutritional facts for these cookies?
All time favorite cookie recipe! THEY ARE AMAZING. If anyone is GF I have made these with Pamela’s GF baking mix & they turned out PERFECT! So, so delicious definitely a must try. 🙂
How many cookies does this make? Can I make half the portion?
I usually get 16 large cookies! I don’t suggest halving this recipe.
Hello,
Made these cookies last Friday and they vanished sooner than the time it took to make them. Hands down the BEST COOKIE RECIPE EVER!!
I noticed the coconut oil didn’t melt even using a mixer (any tips would be appreciated). Also, is it possible to pipe the cookies out to get a more even output?
ps. I used Bob’s Red Mill GF flour 🙂
Have a great day and keep these vegan recipes coming!!
Angie
These are amazing!! Only sub I used was almond milk instead. Came out so delicious!!
These are easy & taste awesome. I made them gluten free in addition to vegan.
Wow! I’m always a skeptic in the taste department despite what the comments say!!! I’ve only been Vegan for about 6 months and am usually looking for the butter taste in EVERYTHING (not “like” butter taste as i never, in the past, bought ANYTHING butter-like or artificial..Only the real deal!) i have to say that these cookies are FANTASTIC! I almost didn’t sprinkle the coarse salt on top and am glad i did! What a finish! Very VERY good!!!!!
Thank you!
These are so so so YUMMY!!!!! I
Best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever! So easy if you have the right ingredients. We have made them 3 times so far in two weeks, twice as cookie cake, once for a school “edible cell” project as the base, and the first time it was dead silent as everyone savored their cookie hot out of the oven!
Now our go-to recipe, even more awesome that it is vegan! Thank you!!!
I have to be careful what I feed my 2yo because he has a few food allergies (eggs, nuts, seeds) and most times when I am eating he wants mommy to share. So when I was searching for a vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe this one popped up…….perfect, easy, and delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Hello, I tried you recipe today and it was just so gooood!!! I didn’t have coconut milk so I used soja cream. Everyone loved it, even mu non vegan friends 😉 thank you so much for this recipe.
Chloé (France)
Next time I make this. I will
Substitute coconut oil with vegan butter and coconut milk with almond milk. Simple recipe but everything just tasted like coconut and I didn’t like that.
Curious where you found certified vegan chocolate chips! All of the chips and chunks I saw at the grocery store either contained milk or said “may contain milk”
Just made these cookies and the taste was delicious but came out more like cake than a cookie…followed the recipe exactly… should I add more flour or coconut milk next time to avoid cake like consistency??? Thanks
Perfect!!! These are great! thank you!!!
Any recommendations on a brand of vegan chocolate chips? Thanks! 🙂
I just found “Enjoy Life” brand semi-sweet chocolate mini chips in Food Lion grocery store. Dairy, nut and soy free. Ingredients list: /cane sugar, natural chocolate liquor (non-alcohol), non-dairy cocoa butter. Haven’t tried them yet but will be making this recipe soon.
Just made these and they turned out great!!! I’m so happy I found this recipe. I did not have any brown sugar so I used coconut sugar but they were still delicious, and had a wonderful consistency. The only thing I would do differently is maybe press the mounds down a bit so the cookies will flatten out a little more, I tend to like my cookies on the more thin and crispy side. Will be making these for my non vegan family and friends in the near future!
These actually ARE the best chocolate chip cookies I ever ate!!! Greetings from Vienna, Austria!
Something went wrong. My cookie dough didn’t spread out when baking, So for the remaining dough, I used a single tablespoon of dough, shaped and flattened. And 2 cups of chocolate chips is way too much.
???
Did you forget the baking soda? And I didn’t think 2c chips was too much.
I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies came out PERFECT! They are easily the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever had. My non-vegan friends loved them! I will be making them again for the holidays. Absolutely delicious!
These are the best damn cookies I’ve ever eaten. My husband, who is a staunch “if it’s vegan it’s gross” believer, just told me he never wants me to make any other cookie. I’ve shared the recipe with friends and neighbors, they’re all making them, basically everyone in my world is losing their minds over this recipe.
I can attest that this is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever. I made a batch (with almond milk as I did not have coconut milk) for my fellow student leaders at school (in a hurry without even testing to see if they were okay) and they absolutely loved them! It was so amazing to see how much they enjoyed them. The looks on their faces were priceless! They looked like little kids! And nobody could/will ever believe that these are vegan! What a plus! I’ll surely be making an abundance of these over the holidays and really, just for the rest of my life. I’m currently treating myself to one huge, heart-shaped one for breakfast! (I just finished finals.) I can’t wait to share this recipe with others and just thinking about making these with my children in the future brings me pure joy. Thank you Ashley for this gift that will keep on giving.
Yep these are fabulously delicious! Here are my comments. I followed recipe exactly. Made my own applesauce with one apple right before making these just like people have already described. I sifted the flour together with the salt and baking soda then still mixed well. I ending up with a really stiff, somewhat dry batter, so had to add more liquid. I had used the thick creamy canned coconut milk, but added a few tablespoons of almond milk to moisten it. I used Enjoy Life mini-chips. I believe they’re vegan. Had to bake a few minutes longer to get the crispy edges and bottom. My convection oven takes longer to bake cookies, but they do come out evenly baked. The 3 Tablespoons is really too, much for one cookie. I used half that amount and the size was just right. I pressed the cookie dough about 1/3 of the way. Next time I may either use less regular flour, or try a gluten free flour. Also will try adding nuts!
Hi,
I just made these cookies, they are great!! Really easy to make. I was worried that using a 3 tablespoon size scoop was too much but it’s perfect.
Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe.
Jamie
Yes yes yes––one million times yes!! These ARE amazing cookies. Just made them this morning for the holidays, and my family won’t tell that they’re vegan at all! They’re that delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe! I’m new to the plant-based world and I love this recipe.
I just made these and they are delicious (!) and turned out beautiful and fluffy! I tried making them once before but added 1 1/4 cup coconut milk instead of 1/4 and they turned out very very fluffy/interesting… it was definitely an accident but luckily they were still delicious and stayed moist (didn’t dry out like typical cookies after a day or two) – kinda reminded me of a fluffy pumpkin choc chip cookie..
Highly reccomend trying these! This was only my 3rd time baking EVER and now I’m hooked!
Mine came out like scones. Do you have conversion measurements for uk? I so want to get these right as the comments are so positive! Thank you
These were good, but I really miss the buttery flavor of traditional chocolate chip cookies. Can vegan butter be used instead of coconut oil?
These chocolate chip cookies are amazing! Seriously probably the best cookies I have ever had! After your amazing maple banana pecan muffins and now these – wow I am so excited to have found your site. Thanks for sharing all your amazingly delicious recipes!!
Any alternatives for applesauce? But, this is a great recipe!
These are amazing. My girls..2 and 4..are lactose intolerant so finding a cookie we can make and eat together is fantastic. Thank you!!!!!
Amazing cookies! Thanks sooo much!
Made these and they’re delicious! Next time I make them I’ll probably use fewer chocolate chips, but the dough itself is so delicious!
Hi love, I just made this recipe with my brother for Christmas and they tasted really good. However, instead of just using a scoop, my brother rolled each cookie into a ball shape and placed them on the baking sheet. For some odd reason, they turned out really poofy (puffed up, not deflated if you will). Nonetheless, everyone who tried them really enjoyed them. It was even more delicious with our homemade almond milk! Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Did you use full fat canned coconut milk or is lite coconut milk okay?
My husband just made these for our NYE snack. They are INCREDIBLE. Definitely the best vegan cookies I’ve ever had in the nearly 20 years I’ve been vegan. Perfect recipe!
Not only did these cookies look amazing but they taste amazing!! My family could not stop eating them. They were surprised they were vegan and just kept eating them. Also they stayed fresh and gooey even a day after. Best cookies ever!!
Yay! So happy to hear it, Halle 🙂
can these be made as a cookie pie/cake you think? want to make it for my son’s birthday. 🙂
OMG! I just tasted the dough and it tastes exactly like the Tollhouse Recipe! OMG! I am so excited for the cookies! WOW! Thanks and I don’t feel nervous eating the cookie dough and maybe give some to the kids! YUM!
I made these as an impulse one day! I substituted the brown sugar with agave as it was the only thing I had on hand and it worked out fine! I also did soy milk instead of coconut milk and upped the apple sauce by a few tablespoons.
These were not only easy to make but incredibly delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe!! Even my nonvegan friends who usually make fun of me loved them. (:
This recipe is AMAZING! Thank you for sharing! I’ve made this twice now and they are by far my favorite cookie texture and taste that I’ve ever tried to make at home. I added unsweetened coconut flakes and dried unsweetened cranberries to vegan chocolate chips because I love those too 🙂 Seriously love this dough recipe!!!
I made these cookies with coconut sugar and whole wheat flour and vegan mini chocolate chips. They are delicious and nutritious! My grandkids love them!
I made these tonight and they were so easy and delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Yum! As a new vegan, I am so looking forward to all of the amazing and delicious recipes I can make. I really find that vegan baking is just as good – if not better!
My 18 year old daughter recently decided to eat vegan so I have been looking for recipes. I cooked these for her today. OMG! They are amazing. We agree that they may be better than our recipe. We consider ourselves chocolate chip cookie connoisseurs and they are just as delicious as you claim. I made no substitutions but next time may try GF flour.
Wow, these were great! I am a huge fan of chocolate chip cookies and needed a non dairy recipe so I could bring treats to a friend. I used half whole wheat flour and a few less chocolate chips. Happy to have a recipe that helps me use up my Costco size tub of Coconut Oil 🙂
Absolutely amazing! Give them a try. Thank you for sharing!
AMAZING!!
I’m pretty sure I ate half of the dough before I even baked them! They were SO delicious.
About how many cookies does this make per recipe?
I made 2 dozen with this recipe!
How well do these store? I wanna send some to someone
Do you have suggestions for making these at high altitudes (Denver, Colorado)? The dough is really good, but no matter what size/length of time I do they thin out too much and get too brown, or are too soft and liquidy in the center even after baking longer/cooling.
Cristina, have you tried reducing the temperature of your oven by about 25-50 degrees? That’s what I have to do in some cases. Also, adding a bit more flour and water.
They sound good–I haven’t made them yet, but you do realize that chocolate chips, unless you buy VERY specific chips, are not vegan, right? Regular chocolate chips have milk in them, which is an animal product. I plan on trying them, but substituting vegan chips instead.
How can you rate something as 3 stars when you haven’t even made it yet? I made it with vegan chocolate chips, of course, and it was amazing. You’ll wish you’d rated it 5 stars. 😉
The ingredients clearly state if vegan use vegan chocolate chips, I used enjoy life vegan chips and wow great recipe. For many reasons I’m a new vegan and this recipe helps a lot thank you so much Ashley !
LOL! You haven’t even made them and gave a star rating?! Come on…
Why would rate these without trying them. This is one of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made. That seems so unfair to the woman who posted the recipe.
These are vegan chips. there is even a link to the chips
Hello – I haven’t made this recipe yet but wondering if this can be made in a toll house bar fashion. Has anyone attempted to bake longer in a sheet or jelly roll pan? Thanks!
I am not vegan but very dairy intolerant. A good girlfriend of mine made these for me and I must say, simply one of the best cookies I have ever had. Thanks so much!! Looking forward to making your other dairy-free dessert recipes!!
I recently changed my lifestyle to vegan but unfortunately I still have a strong sweet tooth. This recipe was just in time. Thanks.
Dear Baker by Nature,
YOU ARE AMAZING! As a mamma to a 9 month old with many food sensitivities I have sacrificed a lot to breastfeed. It has been 8 months since anything remotely resembling a sweet treat has been made in my house and I love to bake! This recipe is awesome! The consistency is spot on and the taste is perfect. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN!
Absolutely delicious. I had to give some away so i wouldn’t eat them all myself. So thankful I only discovered this recipe at the end of this pregnancy! Haha!
Absolutely agree that these are the best! Big hit with everyone who has it – vegan/ non-vegan alike!
Thank you so much for sharing!
If there are chocolate chips in them, they’re not vegan. You have to get dairy free.
Yes, there are many vegan chocolate chips available now 🙂
My daughter and I are not vegan, but wanted something with less sugar to satisfy our “sweet-tooth” after coming off a 21 day fast of no sugar and other foods. We decided to try these cookies, and all I can say is OMG, OMG…they were delicious!!! I did not feel guilty after devouring the 3 I had after coming out the oven LOL, We used organic gluten free white flour and almond milk (that’s what I had in the frig.), but we’ll try the coconut milk next. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
I am wondering about the calories for these cookies. I see the nutritional chart. It shows serving size is one cookie, but doesn’t list calories per serving. thanks!
I would like to know the same.
I have been searching for the perfect thick and gooey chocolate chip chocolate I I finally found it. Thank you for sharing this recipe! I maybe just ate 3-haha!!!
These were so good! I love finding vegan recipes that work well and are sooo good! I am very picky about cookies too, but these were soft and hit the spot!
Hello, the past couple of times the finished product have turned out really flat and burnt, is the a reason behind this and is there anything to help?
Hi Samantha. Sounds like it could be a few things. One could be that your coconut oil is too soft. It needs to be firm when added to the batter. Another could be that your oven runs high, and they’re burning due to the high temperature. I hope that helps!
Very good cookie! I added 1/2 cup peanut butter and 1/2 cup oatmeal. Bake time for me was closer to 9 minutes. Thanks for posting this recipe.
Wow do these ever look delicious! You’re so talented, thanks for sharing the recipe.
looks so goof.
really tasty I had to give some away in order to prevent myself from eating them all. I’m so happy I found this recipe at the very end of this pregnancy! Haha!
Haha so happy you enjoyed them! Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy 🙂
These cookies are absolutely Amazing!! they are Definitely the BEST vegan choc chip cookie I have tried!!
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
I have my second batch in the oven at the moment. I didn’t use canned coconut milk. First time I used cashew milk and this time around almond milk. They turned out perfect. Kid and Husband approved. Easy, DELICIOUS recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
“Scoop three tablespoon sized mounds of dough”
Sorry for being confused but is this per cookie?
Yes 🙂
I’m guessing I messed up somewhere because these were some of the worst cookies I’ve ever made. They were SO DRY and powdery and not at all sweet. Tasted more like lumps of bread. Honestly, I threw out the batch. Really disapointed.
guys i accidentally put twice the amt of applesauce but it made the wet ingredients taste like butterbeer from universal studios no joke
I made these for my co-workers and they were completely in love (and I think these cookies are absolutely wonderful, too). Thank you so much for the recipe! I translated the measurements into gramms, as I am German and that’s the way our recipes work 🙂 I would love to translate the recipe into German and share it with my German blogreaders, of course linking back to your original one. Would you be ok with that?
Hi Ashley!! Could I get some advice? I’m super excited about this recipe because the raw dough tasted so good. Not sure if I did something wrong – mine came out flat and oily. They also all merged together like a big cake haha – the coconut oil was firm when I mixed it with the sugar.
What could I be doing wrong? Thank you so much!
Update: I’ve retried the recipe twice and they now come out INCREDIBLE. Not sure what went wrong the first time. Thank you so much!
Delicious!!!!i made these for my son and his girlfriend! Shipped out to Oregon yesterday!they are both vegan and she is recovering from surgery. I also saved some for my husband and these cookies got a huge thumbs up! I’ll be making this recipe often! Much better than the traditional toll house cookie recip! I only found one choice on the shelf for vegan chocolate chips and they were made with stevia. Do you gave a brand you would recommend?
I’ll be looking on your site for more recipes to try! Thank you!
I just made these to gift to some friends. I subbed bananas for the apple sauce, white sugar & some honey for the brown sugar, and they came out amazing. Crispy on the outside and thick/chewy in the middle with a subtle coconut flavor. Thanks for the recipe.
These are the best chocolate chip cookies ever, vegan or not. My family raves about them. I took some to Magic Kingdom and someone wanted to know where I got them………they even look delicious. As my daughter-in-law said when she was eating, “I don’t want this to be over.” I’ve also made them with white chocolate chips (non-vegan) and macadamia nuts. Equally wonderful!
As the title says, i’m pretty sure these are the best cookies i’ve ever made, vegan or non-vegan. I also tried it with pure coconut sugar and they were still just as amazing. Love this recipeeee!!
Best cookies i’ve ever made! This recipe is going in my recipe book to have forever, so delicious!
Soooo good!
Just made a half recipe (subbed almond milk for the coconut milk) and my husband just ate the first pan saying “these are the best homemade cookies I’ve ever had” lol. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Oh my gosh! I have been figuring out food allergies for 9 months now and haven’t had a freaking chocolate chip cookie (my favorite) in so long! These were soooo good and the dough was creamy and delicious, best vegan recipe for anything I have found yet! Thank you!
These cookies are amazing! I made them with only 1 cup of chocolate chips because I don’t like a ton of chocolate, and they are perfect! The dough tastes so good too I wanted to eat it all raw!
Thank you for the recipe!! Saving this one for future!
I never leave comments but I had to here. These are the best cookies I’ve ever made (and the prettiest too). I did sub brown sugar for palm but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. I found that pressing the chocolate chips in right out of the oven was a must to achieve an aesthetically pleasing cookie. Thank you for your recipe!
These turned out amazing! I followed the recipe pretty much as-is; I just used slightly less chocolate chips because 1.5 cups seemed like enough.
I made these to take to a gathering at a friend’s house; the hostess is vegan. I honestly wasn’t expecting much , and I’m pretty skeptical about most recipes that are trying to mimic a classic but when I tested one, it was immediately followed by a second and then a third. At that point I had to stop myself or there wouldn’t have been any for my friends! This recipe may replace my regular chocolate chip cookie recipe!
I just made these with my granddaughter and they are amazing. We decided to spread them out to make chocolate chip brownies, cut it in half and then spread vegan cheese cake on half after they were baked and cooled then topped with the other half. These were so good! I recently started changing over to a vegan life style and this was my first baking attempt. I couldn’t be happier, can’t wait to try more of your recipes!
these look inane!!! as anybody tried it gluten free and had some flour recommendation? would love to try these asap!! 🙂
Jasmine, read through the comments from the top — quite a few people made them gluten free with different substitutions and outcomes. Best wishes!
Thank you so much for this recipe! My cow’s milk protein intolerant newborn has prevented me from indulging in sweets lately. These were divine! I did sub the coconut milk for plain almond milk as I didn’t want to open the can for a 1/4 cup. I can’t believe how well they baked and crisped up in my oven. And we’re still chewy in the middle. Thanks again!!
What’s the nutritional facts on this? I can’t see it
Didnt work or me :/ Followed the recipe but they tuned out very flat
I hate to burst everyone’s bubble but these are not vegan.
How so?
How many cookies does this recipe make?
These are so amazing!!!! I have allergies to corn and egg along with me being plant based these did the trick. Thought I’d never eat cookies again and these are so amazing !! Thank you for this recipe!!!
This recipe is amazing! I love chewy chocolate chip cookies, and these were the perfect texture for me. I found I had to flatten them out by hand a bit before I baked them to get less of a mound look with the final cookie, but overall, this is a stellar recipe and one I’ll use many times to come. Thank you for this recipe!
Excellent, but my second batch didn’t spread like the first batch…
Sorry, did not like these AT ALL. Came out gummy and too dense. I know that adding liquids to cookies does that, but the cookies in the photos looked so good I figured I’ll give it a try… Disappointing.
Mine came out a little cakey too but used it to my advantage!!
Instead of baking flat on a tray, put the mix into a normal muffin tin tray filling each mould completely and bake at 180 Celsius (Aussie, sorry) for about 15-20 mins.
Come out with a crunchy cookie-like top, a cakey bottom and a lava-cake style middle. That’s completely edible cause it’s vegan and no eggs 🙂 🙂
Made it that way by accident the first time cause I had extra dough at the end of my pan and my house mates loved it!
OMG! I made these cookies, they were better than the non-vegan version. Thanks for sharing your recipe. The only issue is they didn’t last long 🙂
I just found my Toll House replacement! I wanted to make my vegan friends cookies and this is such a good recipe that I will use it all of the time. I sprinkled a wee bit of sea salt on the tops before baking and that gives it the salty/ sweet flavor I crave. Thank You
Can I use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar to keep it more healthier? And can I use aquafaba rather than using applesauce? But really why use applesauce? Will it have a little taste or hint of apple sauce in it? I really want to taste the exact chocolate chip cookies itself hehe but I love how the picture you posted is very beautiful it looks very yummy!!!
I substituted almond flour and added 2 T peanut butter. Excellent! The first cookie recipe for EVERYONE in my family. Vegan, gluten free, corn free and my 4 and 6 year old grandkids loved them!
made these last night & they were delicious! even my carnivore boyfriend had to concede that they rivaled any non-vegan chocolate chip cookie 🙂 thank you for sharing!
These cookies are insane!! My husband and I are newly vegan, and I was sick of cookies with a banana base.. these will be my new go-to cheat!
These cookies are just perfection!! I make them with pure coconut sugar and all ww pastry flour. They’re superb!! The cookie dough is delightful too vegabbor not these cookies are THE BEST!! Than you for the recipe.
Vegan or not oops!
I am a dietitian and suggest recipes to clients. I can figure the nutrition facts myself but thought that you had most likely already done that. If so, would you mind sending me that information? Also, there is nothing that I saw that says how many servings there are. Thank you!
I made these today and they are SO good! Addicting actually!!! After I mixed the dough with chocolate chips I put a plastic wrap over the dough and kept it in the fridge for a few hours (NY Times Chocolate chip cookie trick I learned). I then baked the cookie dough balls (3 tbls in size) for about 12-13 minutes at the stated temp. It was awesome! Especially with the sprinkle of sea salt on top. Thank you for this recipe, it’s a keeper 🙂
How many cookies does this recipe make?
I have another vegan chocolate chip recipe that I️ love but I want to try this one now too. Instead of brown sugar what about coconut sugar? Do you know of the dough freezes well?
I’ve made these twice and the first time they came out fluffy, light, and cakey. We held them in the frig to stay fresh but ended up only last 2 days! The second time I got a phone call after mixing the wet ingredients and didn’t get back to finishing them for about 20 minutes. The dough was very sticky this time and appeared darker. I kept adding flour to thicken it up but just dealt with the sticky and baked them. Still delicious this time but totally different look and texture after baking. They were darker, flat and chewy. So strange.
I am not a vegan but made these for vegan friends. My nonvegan husband thought the coconut oil smelled horrible while baking, but couldn’t get enough once they came out! We ended up eating half the batch straight out of the oven so I doubled the next batch. I honestly can’t believe how good they taste! I don’t usually use these ingredients but I couldn’t even tell they were in the cookies. These are incredible!!
These were my favorite chocolate chip cookies ever! I substituted 1 stick of Earth Balance for coconut oil and used unsweetened almond milk instead of coconut milk, and only 2 T. They looked a bit puffy (and underdone) when first out of the oven but I dropped the tray on the counter a few times and they are perfect. LOVE!
My hubs gave up a lot when I wanted to go vegan…the least I could do was give him his sweets…that’s if I don’t eat the dough before they actually make it to the oven!! I’m def not a sweets fan, especially chocolate, but daaang these are amazing!!! Thank you x 1000!!!
hey just wondering if you know how many cookies this recipe will yield? thanks!
I love how simple these are- they don’t have a huge list of ingredients like the other vegan recipes I’ve found.
This looks delicious! Does the coconut flavors come through?
A little bit, but it’s not overwhelming 🙂
Thanks for sharing! How long do they keep?
About 3 days 🙂
My cookies turned into one large cookie in the over that was almost liquid until cooled. What happened?
Made these the other day and they turned out delicious!! Even shared them with non vegan friends and they loved them also! This will be my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe! Thank you so much!!
These look delcious! The only problem is that chocolate chips usually contain milk which makes them not vegan. Any suggestions on good dairy free chocolate chips? I have struggled to find them! Thanks!
I used the Enjoy Life brand. I found them at my local Walmart.
This is my new go to recipe, these are so good! I’ve had bad experiences with vegan recipes before, but these are so easy to make and delicious. I thought they might smell or taste too much like coconut, but you can hardly tell once they are baked. Thank you for this great recipe. I’m not a food blogger, but I create a lot of my own recipes, so I know how much work goes into it. Not to mention writing these articles and taking gorgeous pictures! IMO Food bloggers don’t get enough credit for their work, but you deserve it <3
My go-to cookie recipe – absolutely amazing! I sub the 1/4 cup of the brown sugar for coconut sugar and it adds a little something different to the taste. Even my husband and his friends that avoid vegan stuff (bc it’s “weird”) can’t leave these cookies alone.
These cookies are amazing! My youngest has severe food allergies to milk and eggs. Happy to find a delicious recipe the whole family can enjoy! Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful. Must say they are the best!
So happy you love this recipe! Thanks for letting us know!!
I need to bake a double batch of these each time I make them! These rival and surpass any regular chocolate chip cookies I have ever made! Always disappear wherever I bring them….people are shocked when I tell them they are vegan. Definitely have become my go to choco chip cookie recipie!!
Glad you love the recipe! Thanks for letting us know!
Great flavor but my cookies came out very flat! Nothing like the photo 🙁
Sorry to hear the recipe didn’t work out for you! Sounds like an issue with your baking soda or flour. We recommend carefully measuring out your ingredients to ensure you get the right ratios in your dough!
I made these for a dinner party, and oh my gosh! Yum! I may have made them too big however that almost made them a better dessert, only need one!
The coconut oil I used might have been a little too solid as it was difficult to mend into the rest, there were a few bits and pieces of it throughout the mixture but Live and learn!
Lovely recipe, not expensive, easy to complete, awesome!
Just baked these. Added walnuts and used cinnamon applesauce, and milk chocolate instead. This recipe is a keeper for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Does anyone know a good substitute for the coconut oil and milk? 1/2 cup of coconut oil contains 94 grams of saturated fat, which I want to avoid.
Someone above mentioned Earth Balance but I don’t want to use that because it contains palm oil.
Made 2 double batches of this recipe for an event at church! Everyone LOVED them!! They are SO good! Thank you for such a great recipe!!!
I’ve made this several times and it comes out delicious EVERY time! Many friends of mine prefer this cookie over the “regular” chocolate cookies.
So happy to hear it, Kayla!
I don’t think these can be Vega since chocolate has milk in it ??
You must use vegan chocolate chips.
Is the cookie dough freezable for a future date? Or what’s the shelf life on these? I want a vegan option for my restaurant, but want to be able to freeze or refridgerate them until ready for use.
How many cookies are made per batch? Trying to figure out how much supply I need to get!
16 🙂
Great recipe! Any vegan recipe you make I’ll try.
Thank you! I’ll have a few new vegan recipes on the blog soon 🙂
These are THE BEST! But now I need to make 60 cookies! How many does this recipe make if I follow the directions of 3Tbsp-sized scoops? I forget from when I made them last time. Thanks!
So happy you’re a fan! You should get about 16 very large cookies from the recipe 🙂
Thank you for posting your vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe!! I followed the directions and your suggestions and they came out wonderfully! 🙂
So happy to hear it! 🙂
Hi!
I really want to try out your recipe, but I would like to incorporate molasses. Do you have an idea what would be the right way to do so?
Thank you 🙂
Yummy cookies. Easy to make. One would never know they were vegan. Only comment-lower to baking temp. I had a feeling that 9 min was too much at 375. So I set the timer for
7 minutes. Good thing because they were on the verge of burnt. I would bake at 350 degrees.
With the Thai coconut milk, do you use the thick white milk and the water combined, or strain the water and just use the thick white milk part?
I had to comment as I’ve made these so many times, they’re my go-to baking favourite and are so unbelievably delicious. My favourite thing is to tell people they’re vegan and wait for the shock on their face. There is not much that makes me happier than seeing the look of pure happiness on my partner’s face when he sees I’ve made these. Be aware – it’s so easy to think they aren’t cooked, but stick to no more than 9 min for that soft, chewy texture. They are the best!
Amazing cookies! I made some the other day, and they turned out absolutely delicious! Will definitely make again, would definitely recommend to others. Thank you so much 🙂
I make these at least once a month! They are amazing!
I do only use 1 cup of brown sugar and I don’t usually use my oil hardened, I just cool my batter for a few minutes in the fridge before making and they turn out perfect every time! (:
Thank you for the great recipe!
These cookies are absolutely amazing! I make them at least once a month.
I do make a few changes, I only use 1 cup of very lightly packed brown sugar and I don’t usually make sure my coconut oil is hardened. I just put the dough in the fridge for about 5 minutes to harden a little before making the cookies. They turn out perfect every time!
Thank you for sharing this great recipe!
These are so good!!!! Thank you so much for this recipe! Such an easy recipe to follow. They turned out perfectly delicious! This is better than any cookie, vegan or not, that I’ve had in such a long time. And they are so visually perfect as well. Sometimes when I bake things come out looking blah, but these look like cookies in a magazine, I’m so thankful they taste as good as they look! I’ll definitely be checking out more of your recipes. Thank you!
These were awesome! I did substitute Butter Flavor Crisco for the Coconut Oil and Coconut Cream for the Coconut Milk (just because that is what I had on hand), and it worked out fabulously. They do hold whichever shape you put them in on the pan, so flatten them a little if you want them to look like regular cookies.
They were so chewy and delicious.
Oh my stars and garters! How have I lived without these?! I’m not vegan, but I have a dairy allergy to go along with my need for chocolate chip cookies. These are my go to cookies now. Thank you SO much for creating and sharing these!!!
I know you said no substitutes but I gave the last of my applesauce to the kid yesterday who didn’t even eat it sooooo I opened up a can of pumpkin purée and used equal parts and they came out AMAZING!! (Also used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose but I always do that and have never had issues.)
Mine turned out very very flat, no fluff or cake like quality. What am I doing wrong? I combined all the ingredients exactly as instructed. Any advice?
I just made these, WOW! Thank’s.
These cookies are the shit. I love them so much!!! I use vegan butter (Earth Balance) instead of coconut oil and if I don’t have apple sauce I’ll use a banana which works great (plus my boyfriend loves the slight banana flavor it gives them). You’re a godsend, I was an avid baker until I went vegan and pretty much stopped all together. But I will make these whenever I’m craving sweets. Thanks for the great recipe!
I just made these (with almond milk instead of coconut milk) and they were simply incredible. Best cookies I have ever baked.
Can I use Almond Flour and Erythritol instead of All-Purpose flour and brown sugar?
BEST COOKIES EVER I made these to satisfy my craving of cookies and these were by far the best cookies I’ve ever had. My boyfriend took some to work and all of his non-vegan coworkers were OBSESSED with these and wanted the recipe. Thanks for the AMAZING recipe!
May i ask what vegan chocolate chips you used?
my family has a coconut allergy. Can’t use any coconut products. Your recipe says not to make substitutions, but I can’t use a recipe containing coconut. Can you suggest substitutions that will work but not make our coconut allergic, vegan family members ill?
I have made these DELICIOUS cookies twice now and the second time I didn’t have any coconut milk so I used original unsweetened almond milk instead and tasted zero difference. Also I found just one cup of chocolate chips to be plenty.
Best cookie recipe.
Question for you, I baked the cookies for 10min, they appeared to not be done, I baked them for two additional minutes. They were very pale in color.
How can I make them so they have more color with out baking them for too long?
Thank you
These are amazing! I am fairly new to vegan baking and many of the things I have made have not turned out the best. But these… oh my. I finally found THE one! The only thing that I did differently was, I just put the dough into a 9×13, ungreased glass dish. I was too lazy to make them into cookies. I didn’t spread the dough out much. Because I didn’t want to “overwork” the dough. I cooked them at 375 for about 15 minutes, then turned it down to 350 for another 20 or so. I did the toothpick trick to test for doneness. Crispy edges, a little gooey inside. Perfect for me!! Thank you so much for this recipe!
I’ve made these cookies twice now. Used flax egg instead of the applesauce. Had to add a little more milk than instructed but I am very happy with the results, and so is the fam. So glad I came across your page, many thanks!
These are delicious and they adapt very easily to recipe adjustments. I didn’t have enough AP flour, so I used some self-rising (but didn’t decrease the baking soda bc the flour had been open for a while). I also ran out of brown sugar so I I used 1/4 cup plus a little more of regular sugar. I also used almond milk because I didn’t want to open a can of coconut milk. They turned out great! I made mine ~2 Tbsp each so I ended up with 25 total, and I baked for 8 minutes. The only trouble I had was my coconut oil was so hard (it’s a cold day), that it was difficult to mix. I should have left it out for a bit longer so it was slightly softer. I don’t like coconut flavor, and I didn’t get that flavor from these cookies. Great recipe!
I just baked these for a party at my yoga studio, as several members are Vegan. Wow, they came out perfect! I doubled the recipe, but used 50/50 vanilla / almond extract. Also pressed my chips into the top before baking. Will def make these again. Soon!
YES! I’d LOOOOVE more vegan recipes! I’m trying to stay away from dairy to see if it’ll help my occasional cystic acne. Vegan cinnamon rolls, mac and cheese, classic vegan fun fetti cake, and waffles.
These are the BEST vegan cookies I have tried. They have become a regular staple in my baking rotation. Thank you!
i LOVE these cookies! so delicious and all my non vegan friends love them too!
This cookie recipe is seriously as the name states the best! I am so happy to have found such an amazing vegan cookie recipe! I recently have tryed going vegan and this recipe is making it very easy not to look back! I even had my dad try one (nobody else in my family is vegan, I didn’t tell them they where “different”) and he loved them! Thank you so much, this is now my go to recipe!
One of my new favorites. Tastes even better the next day. Baked just as recipe is written and had great results. The sea salt on top is the best!
Incredibly stressful morning and I wanted to get more bang for the amount of chocolate chips I had less in the cupboard. Basically I baked these to support my stress eating habit but boy were they ever worth it.
Followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly!
The only thing that I was pleasantly surprised with was that instead of 16 cookies, I got 36 cookies from the recipe (with 1 inch rolled balls).
How long do they last for on the shelf and in the fridge?! These are delicious by the way, my family and friends love them and they aren’t even vegan 🙂
Can I use chick pea flour instead of regular flour?
Oh my goodness! Made these cookies tonight after viewing the recipe for the first time. I’m vegan, and they are awesome! I would use about half the salt though and only 1 cup of the chocolate chips. The amount called out in the recipe is too much for me. I didn’t have any coconut milk, so I used a little bit of coconut cream with some almond milk. I also realized that my apple sauce had gone bad so used vegan butter instead, and they turned out great! So happy to stumble upon this recipe. It was soooo easy. I will bake these for my next get-together. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing!!! Definitely made more than 16 cookies, but not complaining at all 🙂 Maybe I just make my cookies small. Super nice recipe! I love that it uses more natural ingredients, aka no vegan egg or butter substitutes. I gave some to my non-vegan friends and they were shocked to find out they were vegan! Couldn’t tell the difference. 10/10 would definitely bake again
Hello! Do you have the nutrition facts for these cookies?
Ashley!!!
Just made these. Soo good. I’m a big fan of the chewy cookie.
I used maple syrup instead of sugar and cashew creme instead of coconut milk. Was worried it wouldn’t match yours, but they turned out great.
Thank you! Saving this.
Thank you for such a great recipe! I used the same amount of sugar, but used half .org brown and half .org cane sugar. These are honestly some of the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve made!
I just made these and they’re so delicious!! They did come out slightly thicker than normal cookies but they didn’t taste like they were lacking any ingredients. Also just a tip, I hardly ever bake so this recipe was super easy to follow but I did have one problem with the coconut oil because she put a lot of emphasis that it shouldn’t be melty so I think I made mine too cold and then it was just hard to work with. I think it should be solid and white but soft, not hard and crumbly. But I made another batch after then and subbed 2 scoops of flour for 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder instead and that time I think I used the coconut oil correctly and those came out great too (and just slightly more chocolatey)!!
Hi, I made the cookies lastnight and everyone seemed to.enjoy.them. Do you have the calorie amount for this recipe? Thank you
These cookies are AMAZING.!!! I added 3/4 cup of old fashioned oats when I added the chips. We use to do this to our non vegan toll house cookie recipe. Wonderful texture. Thanks and keep the vegan recipes coming.
Best chocolate chip cookies ever! Appropriately named. OH. MY. So yummy. Thank you!!
These were simply amazing! Followed the recipe exactly. Was a little worried as my refined coconut oil wasn’t hard, but more mushy solid. However, they came out super, super good. The best I’ve made! My son who can be picky about vegan sweets ate these up!!! Thank you so much!!!
Incredible
This is my go-to recipe for chocolate chip cookies now, for vegans and non-vegans alike. These cookies are always a hit with everyone and anyone (and don’t last long anywhere). Thank you for sharing this amazing recipe!
Yay! So happy you love these vegan chocolate chip cookies as much as we do 🙂
Best cookie recipe, period! Vegan or not, its the best! I’ll never go back to any other!
Made these with my 3 yr old today- they were delicious!!! Thank you for this recipe I’ve already shared it and your blog on Facebook
These are amazing. Hands down they are better than any other chocolate chip cookie recipe I have. Thanks for the perseverance to come up with these!!
I made these cookies twice now and both times they turned out excellent. My family is vegan and my husband said these are the best cookies I have ever made. My kids loved them too! I used enjoy life vegan semi-sweet chocolate chunks. Absolutely fantastic, thank you for the recipe! It will be one I use often.
These are the best Chicken Chip Cookies (even if you aren’t vegan!) They are my family’s favorite and every time I make them someone asks me for the recipe! I do switch it up a tiny bit and use 2 cups AP flour and 1/4 cup coconut flour.
Thanks!
Oops Chocolate!!!
Can’t even tell they are vegan! Amazing!
Wow! This proves something can be as good as it looks! I tested a half-batch of this recipe today in anticipation of our Mother’s Day brunch. Turned out perfectly. Wish I could post a picture here. I am thrilled. Thank you so much for your clear instructions, which I followed carefully. I used refined coconut oil (first time ever), my husband’s homemade cashew/almond/coconut milk, vegan light brown sugar, and Guittard extra dark chocolate chips (albeit only 63% cacao; all-vegan ingredients but not suitable for milk allergy due to risk of cross-contamination. I think they are outstanding). For those whose cookies may be puffier than they might like, (mine were puffy also when they first came out), just grasp the cookie sheet and briskly smack it on the countertop or stovetop. The cookies should collapse as mine did. I may skip this next time to see how they look staying puffy, or just see if they collapse on their own. Anyone else try this or know if they will collapse on their own? Mine are not cakey. Coconut oil was solid and scoopable; house temp 68°. It won’t be that in the summer!!
Woow. Very nice chocolote. Thanks for sharing
WOW!! Just wow. First, let me note that I used Bob’s Red Mill GF 1:1 flour instead because I am also GF. These cookies are AMAZING! It is the first chocolate chip cookie I’ve been able to eat in nearly 3 years (always found a DF or GF recipe, but not both that were good). This knocked my socks off. I also try to avoid eggs as much as possible, so this fit the bill in every way! Thank you so much for sharing this with the world!
These may be vegan if you use vegan choc. chips, but they certainly aren’t healthy. If, by any chance you are eating vegan with the hopes of losing some weight, these delicious looking cookies (my fav) shouldn’t be on your menu on a regular basis. And this recipe only makes 16 cookies. I could eat these up in no time flat.
Made these last night for the first time and they are absolute heaven!! Didn’t have coconut milk, but used soy milk and the dough was just fine. Thank you for this recipe….I wanted to eat the whole batch! 😉
Amazing
Somebody recommended this recipe to me because I didn’t know what to do with my leftover coconut milk. What a find! Great recipe, I‘m not vegan, but I could not tell the difference. I only reduced the sugar, used less than half. Definitely a keeper!
Do these vegan choc chip cookies freeze well???
I have made these amazing cookies several times now, with consistent results. They really are THE BEST. In my most recent batch I used 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips in the batter and added 1/2 cup chopped pecans. They turned out perfectly. I bake mine on a silicone mat instead of using parchment. As a person with egg and milk allergies, I am so thankful for this delicious recipe that rivals the good old “Tollhouse” classic.
I baked these tonight. Modifications included using coconut water instead of coconut milk (didn’t have an open plant milk in my fridge), coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, very ripe banana instead of applesauce, Miyoko’s unsalted butter instead of coconut oil, & organic einkorn flour instead of all-purpose. The cookies came out gooey & delicious! My non-vegan hubby LOVED them! Thank you for the recipe 🙂
They were amazing! I didn’t have brown sugar and really wanted to make them, so I ‘made’ brown sugar by adding molasses to sugar and it worked! I am surprised they even made it into the oven, the dough was amazing! I could see putting the dough into ice cream or just eating it out of the bowl. Lol
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
These cookies are great! Wondering if I flatten the dough into a cake pan, will it bake ok? Wanting to make a cookie cake but don’t want to try a different recipe- I KNOW this one is good!
I made these cookies twice now and both times they turned out excellent. My family is vegan and my husband said these are the best cookies I have ever made.
Im vegan and I made these- and they are so unbelievably good! I added vegan marshmallows on top too. Thank you so much for this recipe!
So delicious! I didn’t have applesauce so I used a squash puree instead and they came out perfect. Thank you so much for this recipe!

Thank you for this! just a friendly reminder to my fellow vegans that our food is not truly cruelty free until we take into account the human and environmental impacts too. We can’t be perfect but it is good to try! I was happy to see the Fair Trade coconut oil above! And for info on chocolate that doesn’t come from companies that are enslaving people, check out https://foodispower.org/chocolate-list/.
I replaced the vanilla extract with a tbsp of orange blossom water, they turned out yummy!
I made these two days ago and they’re still so delicious.
They’re easy to make, no crazy ingredients, and keep well, so thanks for this recipe!
Now I just have to refrain from rampaging the box where they are stored…
hi there! was wondering, what can applesauce be substituted with?
Pear puree, nut butter, more vegan butter, even a flax or chia egg. Good luck.
Hi. So I’ve been looking for the perfect grain free, vegan chocolate chip cookie for a couple of years now which let me tell you takes dedication. I made these last month to test out with Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Flour Mix and they were good and didn’t last very long. I did make a few notes such as the flour substitution left them a bit oily so I was going to add some flax because they’d definitely achieved keeper status, in fact my newest template.
Today being my birthday and really,, really in need of some Vegan and Paleo Ice Cream sandwiches I turned to your recipe and just decided to go to town on the whole personalization front. I may be insane, but here’s what I did to really, really up the flavorS
I took 4 ounces of frozen, home made vegan butter which is mostly coconut oil anyway and threw that into my food processor with 7.5 ounces of coconut palm sugar paste and 2 Tbsp of vanilla paste and processed until smooth. Then I added 1/4 Cup of drippy almond butter because there was no applesauce and added the coconut milk. Clearly someone around here doesn’t know how to follow instructions.
For the dry ingredients I used the Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Mix as a straight flour substiution; added 1 Tbsp of cinnamon powder and 1 Tbsp of mocha powder (that’s where I grind up coffee beans until they’re powdery and add the same amount of raw cocoa powder, mix and put in my spice shelf).
Well, it IS my birthday after all. Oh yeah, I add 1/2 tsp of baking powder because the paleo flour is so heavy.
I have to tell you that paired with the Salted Caramel Cluster So Delicious ice cream my husband bought me I am in ic cream sandwich Paleo nirvana. So thank you, It’s only taken me 10+ years but I think I’ve found the last chocolate chip cookie I will ever need to make.
Do you think spelt flour and coconut sugar would work instead of all purpose flour and brown sugar?
Can you substitute the coconut oil for vegan butter?
Yes, I did and these were absolutely delicious!
These are amazing! Funny note, I didn’t have any apple sauce on hand, but did have my baby’s organic “carrot, pear, squash” packet of baby food…so I used that instead of apple sauce…they turned out perfect! Hilarious, but true.
This is the first time I’ve baked vegan for a guest I’m having at game night, so of course, I had to try…MY, MY, they are DELICIOUS!!! I love the subtle flavor of coconut. I used Trader Joes chocolate chunks and they’re perfect. I also used the salt flakes after baking and they take the taste to a whole other level. I was going to give my guest the rest of the coconut milk, but now I’m thinking I’ll save it to make more!
I rarely ever leave comments but these turned out amazing! I just used regular semi sweet chips and regular milk, since I’m lacto-vegetarian, but it turned out perfect! Thanks for this amazing recipe; it’s definitely a keeper! 🙂
Love these cookies. 3rd batch and I wondered…. should I press down the tops a bit before cooking or not. First two batches I did and they were great. I didn’t have a cookie scoop so they were dropped on cookie sheet by hand if you will. So this 3rd round I used a large cookie scoop and did NOT press first batch in oven, then 2nd batch did press. So, my conclusion is o NOT press. I am Vegan and everyone goes crazy over these cookies. I follow the recipe exactly . (Made 13 cookies). Once cooled I cut them in quarters and place in a couple quart size freezer bags. They freeze well and my old man loves them straight out of the freezer. We have apple trees so I used homemade applesauce (unsweetened) and Native Forest full fat coconut milk which I blend first before measuring. A keeper, will keep making these delicious cookies, thank you Ashley and why not go Vegan? :). You are a great Vegan cook❣️!
More delicious than any other cookie I have ever made!!! I never leave comments usually, however, I had to this time. Absolutely scrumptious these are! Followed the recipe exactly and love love love everything about them: the texture, the taste, the vegan factor. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!
I love this recipe and the cookies come out perfectly every time but I wanted to know if nuts could be added. If so which ones and in what amount.
I really love chocolate chip cookies personally. And I also have many friends in my list who loves cookies. So, there’s no other better gift to give them other than a basket of cookies for their birthday, or anniversary or even Christmas. However the type changes from chocolate-chip cookies to caramel or cashew. Just have a glance on what all types of cookies can be gifted?
The cookies came out delicious, one batch is gone far too quickly 😉
Just one thing: I added only half a cup of sugar and I still think I could have added less.
Absolutely scrumptious. I haven’t eaten a chocolate chip cookie for months – since December of 2018, if I remember correctly. These cookies were soft in the middle, slightly crispy on the edges, and just the right moistness.
I found the recipe to be very forgiving after I ran out of coconut oil 6 tablespoons in. After that I accidentally poured in too much coconut milk, about 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup. In order to not have too much liquid, I nixed the applesauce and continued with hope that it would all work out. My dough was still sticky after adding the dry ingredients with 2 1/4 cups of flour, and I had to add about 1/3 cup more to reach the desired consistency. For the chocolate, I used two and a half fair trade dark chocolate bars: two chopped for the batter and the half chopped for topping. The dough yielded sixteen big, delicious cookies, baked in two batches for 11 minutes each.
Thank you for this yummy treat, Ashley!
Hello Ashley,
When you say coconut milk are you referring to the thick canned stuff used in sauces, or the thinner stuff used as a beverage?
Thank you
I have used this recipe repeatedly and finally wanted to write a review! I use Gluten Free Namaste flour from Costco and these work beautifully! You really do need to follow the directions EXACTLY as my sister-in-law learned when not stacking the tablespoons like a tower haha BUT – delicious, and almost better the next day. I cannot say enough how much I love this recipe.
Side note: it’s also perfect for baking with kiddos since they can eat all the batter they want!
Thank you so much for this comment, Sara! So helpful and totally agree – great recipe for kiddos 🙂
Had to start eating dairy-free in August when I had a food allergy test. I have greatly missed baked goods (although my pants fit much better). Found your recipe when looking searching “Dairy-Free” and the pictures drew me in. Just completed my first batch and all I can say is Yummmmm! Can’t wait to share a few cookies with my friends who also have food allergies. Best part, did not tell my boys that they were “different” and they totally did not notice! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
First ever trying a vegan recipe as I want to give them to my yoga teacher who is vegan and loves chocolate 🙂
We were blown away by how good these were…made them by recipe exactly and honnestly they are just excellent, can’t say they taste vegan or don’t taste vegan, they just taste GOOD! My significant other couldn’t believethere was no egg or butter in them 🙂 MANY MANY thanks from France for an excellent addition to my baking repertoire and not only for my yoga teacher lol
Can I use a different non dairy milk such as oat milk instead of coconut milk?
I made these cookies, and I followed the recipe, and the coconut oil was firm. But for some reason they came
out flat, they taste okay but they aren’t the gooey soft looking texture of the picture. I guess they were really running before so maybe I needed more flour then 2 1/4 cups? I really wanted these cookies to turn out. Any Suggestions?!

I just made these for my niece who is a vegan, for Christmas. They are fantastic!!!!! I am not vegan and these are sooooo good! The coconut flavor that comes from the solid oil and milk just make them even better! Very easy to do and I only added a smidge more flour to firm up the batter a bit.
I did a few tweaks with this recipe based on the ingredients I had on hand. Used 1c coconut sugar with 1/4c dark muscovado, replaced applesauce with almond butter, used pastry flour instead of AP, and added 2tsp corn starch. Folded in scratch-made vegan chocolate chunks and got 12 generously-sized cookies, which took a bit shy of 10 minutes in the oven and got a topping of more choco chunks and some kosher salt.
The result? Delicious. Though they weren’t as puffy as the ones in the pictures (probably the flour, the dough was kinda sticky) they were thick and sturdy enough. They had crisp edges with a soft, slightly chewy center that melts in your mouth, and the salt rounds it out beautifully.
Love it! I will definitely make
this again with some more tweaks (like full light/dark muscovado sugar)
Wow Ashley! A vegan friend of mine just shared your recipe with me. Your photos are stunning. I am really excited to give this cookie recipe a try! I usually use vegan butter but I bet the coconut oil is going to taste delicious!! So glad I found your blog!
I made these with my son for Santa on Christmas eve and took the leftover ones to family dinner on Christmas and they were a hit. I wanted them again the Saturday after Christmas (no judgement zone lol) so I whipped up a batch. This time since I didn’t want as many cookies around the house for me, my husband and sons to get into, I only baked half the batter and stored the rest in the fridge for…. cookie dough that is safe to eat <3 thanks for the great recipe.
This comment made my day!!! <3
I have never commented on a recipe before until now. These cookies are amazing!
Typically when I make vegan chocolate chip cookies they are flat and oftentimes crunchy.
This recipe makes soft, fluffy, delicious cookies every time.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for commenting, Lee! So happy they were a hit 🙂
Hi!
Can I use this recipe to make chocolate chip cookie cake?
Thanks
We haven’t tried that! But it should work. You’ll need to increase the baking time 🙂
The post says baking powder and the recipe says baking soda. Which is correct?
Baking soda is correct 🙂
Wow it’s so addictive! Super simple and tastes the best!! Worth trying.
I used carob chips instead of chocolate chips.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!
These cookies came out soooo perfect! I like to add almond extract, (instead of vanilla) it was soooo yummy. Thank you so much for this recipe. My favorite so far. & instead of applesauce I used aquafaba. Oh & I was short on chocolate chips so I added some raisins. Everyone loved them!
Literally the best cookies I’ve ever made. My wife and I have been plant based/vegan for over 10 years and haven’t found anything even remotely close. I make these once every 5 days which affords us 3 a piece each night. I make them smaller for that reason thank you so much for the delicious recipe!
Travis, your comment made my day! So happy these are an enjoyable part of your nightly routine 🙂
Loved these, absolutely delicious!
Have you tried freezing the baked cookies at all? I’d love to be able to make some in advance for events etc.
I just made these and they are SO GOOD. I followed the recipe exactly except I only used about 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, so 2 cups was a bit much for me) and I mixed all of them into the dough. I used the Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Chocolate chips. I also put a little extra salt in there. So good. The cookies are the perfect texture. Thanks for this recipe. I 100% recommend making these.
The cookies turned out amazing. My husband is allergic to egg so your recipes really workout for me. Thanks for your vegan recipes
Oh my god, thank you so much for trying around and developing this recipe!! I baked them yesterday (made my own apple sauce quickly from fresh apple and used baking powder, which was both fine) and added some cashew nuts. So gooooood! Yam.
Gave some away to my neighbours and they also loved them.
Thank you thank you thank you 🙂
Wrote it down in my personal cook-book which is definately a compliment 🙂 (Of course with note where I got it from).
Finally some soft cookies that are keeping up with their promising name and look 😀
FYI. There is a vendor on Etsy selling vegan chocolate chip cookies with YOUR cookie photo from your recipe. Hope she has your permission. Her site on Etsy is Biscuitbarn

The best cookies! So easy and delicious. I am going to make these instead of regular chocolate chip cookies.
While SUPER yummy my cookies came out pretty oily. I followed the recipe exactly.
Is there any way to remedy this?
Make sure that the coconut oil isn’t melted at all
Just made these. Halved the recipe and it worked great. They turned out AMAZING and everyone in my family loved them! Will definitely be making them again!
Thank you for an amazing recipe. This is my first try on cookies n super successful..
I froze them for 45 mins and then baked. I think the trick worked.
OMG…Simply amazing! Used soaked chia seeds (1/4 cup w 1/4 cup water) in place of the applesauce — absolutely amazing consistency, texture and flavor!!!! Never going back! 🙂
This was my first time baking vegan cookies and it was more than a success! My cookies were crispy around the edges and soft on the middle (which I love!) I made them HUGE and will probably make some ice cream sandwiches with them. Thank you for an amazing recipe, I’ll definitely use it again. Happy baking!
These cookies are absolutely AMAZING! As a vegan baker, I’m always looking for great recipes for the classics, like brownies and cookies….and this is the best recipe I’ve found for chocolate chip cookies! I made them large, as you suggested Ashley, and glad I did – yum. The cookies stayed tall & thick, have a slight crisp on the outside and are gooey on the inside – perfection. Thank you for the tip on the coconut oil – that is so key.
Based on what I had on hand, I substituted pumpkin puree for the applesauce, and soy milk instead of coconut milk, and they turned out great. I was worried the sweetness wouldn’t match up, but they are just sweet enough. LOVE!
I have searched for a great vegan choc chip cookie for years and then I found this one! I’ve made them for several friends and everyone loves them! Haven’t tried any other recipe since I started making these like a year ago.
hello!
i was wondering if i could substitute the AP flour with either brown rice, coconut, or almond flower? Also would coconut sugar work instead of brown sugar?
Thank you!!

BEST COOKIES EVER! Just made these and my life is changed. I substituted the vanilla for maple syrup as we were out of vanilla, and they were heavenly. The brand of chocolate that I used was Enjoy Life dark chocolate morsels. So good!! My family couldn’t even tell that they were vegan! I’m going to make these nonstop now. Thank you so much for this recipe, I have been searching for quality vegan chocolate chip cookies. Addicted!!
I made a couple of modifications (some intentional others not) and am enjoying them overall. I stopped the sugar at one cup as adding the one-fourth just seemed excessive. I also didn’t have light brown sugar, so I had to use dark brown sugar. Unfortunately my grocery store did not have vegan chocolate chips, so I used regular, semi-sweet chips and cut back a bit on the amount that the recipe called for. I like the thickness of the cookies using the three tablespoon size scoops. Overall outcome = pleased.

I’m not vegan, but I definitely tried these for other reasons. To find the simplest of ingredients without having to use egg or butter. I’m glad mine were cake fluffy. (I also used self rising flour on purpose). Just like cookies used to be before this whole “flat,” thing became super popular. If I’m going to dip a cookie in some milk, it better be able to hold some. (Not an Oreo fan).
Used real chocolate chips (semi sweet by Ghirardelli)…worth it! Even some friends of mine that are into keto or semi partially vegan interest, are deep in love with how they turned out. I’ve got this recipe down, for well… forever. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe!
I was wondering if anyone has tried freezing these? I have tried these cookies before and they are phenomenal! I make smaller cookies so I get a lot of them. It would be nice to freeze them and pull one out when having a craving but I don’t want to freeze them and later find that they dont freeze well and waste them all.
Great accident in making these!
So, I made these vegan chocolate cookies and only baked one tray (we like small cookies so I only put a small ball for each on the baking dish). Well, they came out very thin and flat. So, I decided to bake them in a pan (for bars). After about 20 minutes in the oven, the top looked done so I took them out and let them cool in the pan. THEN, I tried to get them out but they were very gooey in the middle. Sigh. Not done!
So I cut them in squares (which was difficult) and spooned out each “square” back on a cooking sheet. I flattened them a little and baked for another 10 minutes. They didn’t appear done (still squishy in the middle), so I let them go for another 10 minutes. Oops! I think I overcooked them! I thought I had to throw these out BUT my family says they are the BEST chocolate chip cookies they have ever had! lol! They call them my Happy Accidental Best Chocolate Chip cookies in the world! They want me to try to make them again the same way (not sure I can but I will try!).

Finally… I found it… The best cookie recipe!! These are my favourite batch of cookies I’ve ever made and I’m excited to share it with other people! They came out soft and big with a little crunch.
I didn’t have applesauce on hand so I ended up just using Greek yogurt blueberry flavour – and I love it lol.
I also found that I only needed to use like 1 and 2/3(?) cup of chocolate chips, and just used brown sugar as I didn’t have light brown.
So glad for this recipe because these were the only ingredients I had left!
These are my go-to cookies…. Everyone loves them!!! I was wondering if I could substitute coconut flour instead of all purpose flour?
Can I use the canned coconut milk for these? 🙂
Yes!
Oh nvm about my first comment I just re read through the post and see that you do use full fat canned coconut milk. Thank you for the recipe 🙂
Just made these – so incredibly good and so easy!!!
Totally awesome recipe!!! Thank you so much! I put 1/2 cup apple sauce instead of 1/4 because my mix was hard to mix 😀 and also put eincorn flour and just cut one vegan dark cooking chocolate into small pieces, otherwise used your recipe and the results were fantastic!!!
Super yummy! I am a new vegan and this was a great intro to delicious non-dairy sweets.
I made this into a giant cookie cake after reading they had a cake like texture. Added some vegan icing. delicious. Baked for 18 mins
OKKKKKK … So I I made these cookies tonight and they turned out soooo amazing!!! This is what I did which I think eliminated the cake-like texture and spreading of the the cookies:
1. I let sit in the fridge for a couple hours, however, 30 mins would suffice.
2. Three tablespoon cookies are massive .. So I only did one tablespoon cookies and rolled them into balls.
Hope this helps the next person 🙂
These really are the best I have ever made! Didn’t have coconut milk, so just subbed for almond milk. They are fantastic!! I like that we didn’t need to melt the coconut oil, maybe that was the game changer!
This recipe is my new favorite cookie recipe! so yummy!!! Thank you!
wow! excellent turn out – i loved it – thank you so much for your hard work – i replaced coco milk with soy milk and it turned out fab still –
Hi,
These look amazing! Has anyone tried baking them as bars or a pie? I am hoping to make them for my birthday in an 8″ springform cake pan, because my kids have their hearts set on a cookie pie.
Thanks for any tips!

These were AMAZING! Best cookies ever. I used buckwheat flour for a little under half the flour called for so they were a little darker in color. I’m experimenting with flour Followed the recipe exactly, cooked for about 10 minutes. I like them chewy. Thank you so much for this recipe, perfect!
These are fantastic. Followed the recipe to a “T” except sub chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks. They came out perfect. Not sure what the other reviewers meant by “Cake Like”. Mine were perfect, soft and chewy on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside Pure heaven. I will be making these a lot! Thank you for
Sharing.
These cookies are so freakin good! This is my go-to recipe and I don’t think I will ever go back to normal chocolate chip cookies! The vegan version with the coconut is heaven!
Can I use almond milk instead of coconut? I don’t love coconut milk.
Just made these and we loved them. Very easy and soooooo good. Wow.
Simply amazing! I haven’t had a chocolate chip cookie in longer than I can remember so I set out to make some vegan ones this weekend. This was the first recipe I tried and it’s a winner! No need to look for another recipes. Can’t wait to share these delicious morsels with my non-vegan family. I have no doubt they will love them as much as I do.
I have some vegan friends, so I am always looking for recipes for sweets. I have to eat gluten free so I tried this recipe with gluten free flour and they turned out yummy! I didn’t melt the coconut oil because I was afraid the cookies would be too flat, but I did have to flatten them some what before baking. They are so yummy, I have to keep from eating them all myself. Thank you much!
These are the BEST vegan chocolate chip cookies I have ever made! You cannot tell that they are vegan – honestly. My niece and nephew said they were amazing. I plan to try to use the base recipe to make peanut butter and other vegan cookies. Thank you!
These are delicious and easy to make! Love this recipe!
Baking soda is listed in the ingredients, however in your blog section you wrote baking powder rather than the soda. I just made the cookies and I used baking soda. They are delicious. But I’m wondering which one of the ingredients is the correct one.
Thank you for this delicious recipe finely even the
dough is great
My son has a severe egg allergy, so I’m always on the lookout for egg-free dessert recipes. I generally have pretty low expectations for any vegan cookie recipes. The texture is almost always off – or the flavor is bland. This recipe completely changed my perspective on vegan cookies. They are so delicious! You may not like this cookie if you prefer thin, crisp ones. But if you like thick, soft, and chewy chocolate chip cookies, then this is the recipe! Highly recommend.
