These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are a must-try for anyone looking for a dairy-free, plant-based dessert that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Soft, chewy, and packed with rich, melty chocolate chips, these cookies are the perfect treat for vegans and non-vegans alike. With simple ingredients, you can whip them up in no time and enjoy a classic favorite with a vegan twist.
To get started, preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
In another bowl, cream together vegan butter (or coconut oil) and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in a splash of vanilla extract and a plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk) to achieve the perfect consistency. Mix well until everything is combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully combined. Then, fold in your vegan chocolate chips. If you prefer a more decadent cookie, you can add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch and flavor.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form dough balls and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie. Gently press each dough ball down with your fingers to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Once done, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying true to a plant-based lifestyle. The combination of soft, chewy texture and melty chocolate makes each bite irresistible. Whether you’re enjoying them with a glass of plant-based milk or as a treat for a gathering, these cookies will quickly become a favorite in your vegan dessert repertoire.

These cookies burnt on the bottom. I think my oven is messed up. Worth trying again.
I LOVE CHOCOLATE! These were too sweet for me though. Maybe less sugar?
YUM!! Love that these are healthy! 🥳
First time baking vegan cookies, and it’s just okay. I guess I prefer regular ones.
Yummy! But I didn’t know how to get the flaxstuff to work. Can someone help?
Getting the flax thing to work is easy! Just make sure you let it sit long enough to thicken. It’s like magic! 😊
I used flax once and it was all gooey! Don’t know how it’s supposed to work. Maybe just use eggs instead? 🤷♂️
Just OK. They didn’t rise much, looked flat.
These cookies are amazing! They taste just like the real thing! Will definitely make again.
I was skeptical about the vegan thing, but these cookies turned out really good. Who knew!
Nah, I still think eggs make cookies way better. Vegan stuff is just not the same.
I was also surprised! These cookies taste just like regular ones. 😋
Too much coconut oil. I could taste it too much. Might try with less next time.
First time baking vegan cookies, and honestly, they turned out better than I expected! So chewy!
That’s awesome! I love when recipes surprise you like that. What a great first try!
Tbh, I thought vegan cookies were supposed to be gross, but maybe I’ll give this a shot. Just hope they ain’t too chewy.
Cookies taste great but my dough was super crumbly. Did I do it wrong?
Why vegan? Just butter will do. I don’t get it. Cookies are cookies.
These cookies were amazing! I couldn’t believe they were vegan. Definitely adding this to my favorites!
Easy to follow. I used almond flour instead and they still tasted good! 🌱
I don’t see how these can taste good without butter. Not a real cookie if you ask me.
I used coconut oil instead of butter in my cookies and they were amazing! You should give it a try before judging.
Yesss! Just made these! Such a treat for anyone who loves chocolate chip cookies.
Nice recipe! But I put in too many choco chips… YUM!
Can I swap the coconut oil for butter? I only have butter, like. 🤔
More of a cake than a cookie!! No offense but this ain’t right…
Bright idea but no. Had to adjust and add more sugar. They taste kinda bland otherwise.
Vegan or not, these cookies are the bomb! So chocolatey and gooey!
I tried making these but they turned out all flat. Not sure what I did wrong. Help!
I tried making these, but my cookies spread all over the baking sheet. What did I do wrong?
So good! I added walnuts and they were a hit at the party. Will make again! 👍
I’m not vegan but loved these! Not too hard to make even for a beginner!
Didn’t have coconut oil, so used olive oil instead. Still nice and chewy! 😋
I tried this recipe but forgot the baking soda. They turned out flat. Oops!
Yay! Cookies! My kids loved them! Can we add sprinkles next time? 🥳
Super easy to make! Even my kids helped out. Will definitely be making these again, they are delicious!
I’m so glad to hear your kids could help! These cookies are a hit in our house too! 🌟
Love these! I even shared the recipe with my non-vegan friends. They can’t tell the difference!
I used olive oil instead of coconut oil and they tasted fine. Not the same I guess, but still yum!
These cookies are amazing! I made them for a party and everyone loved them. They vanished in minutes!
Not sure about this recipe. The cookies came out kinda flat. I followed the steps but maybe I did something wrong.
Where’s the choclate? Mine were all dough and no choco chips. Disappointed.
Maybe you forgot to add the chocolate chips? It’s easy to mix things up! 😅
I had the same issue once! Make sure you fold them in gently, and they should be perfect next time! 🍪
Honestly, I found them a bit too sweet for my taste. Maybe less sugar next time? 🤔
These cookies are amazing! So chewy and delicious. Can’t believe they are vegan!
Vegan? Doubt that. How can cookies be good without eggs? Y’all are crazy!
You can definitely make cookies without eggs! The flaxseed is a great binder. Give it a try before judging!
Delicious!!! 🍪🍪
Vegan? NO WAY! These cookies are legit! I would eat these over non-vegan anyday!
These cookies are amazing! I never thought vegan cookies could taste this good! Definitely a 5!
Yum! I added some peanut butter and they turned out super rich. 👌
Peanut butter sounds great! Might try that next time. 😋
These cookies are amazing! Can’t believe they are vegan. Totally making them again!
Vegan? Really? I thought they would taste weird. But maybe I’ll give it a shot just to see!
I totally agree! These cookies really surprised me too. Who knew vegan could taste this good?!
Quick & easy! Made them in 20 minutes. #bakingwin
Just okay. I’ve had better vegan cookies. Might try adding nuts next time to give it some character.
I tried making these but they just wouldn’t rise. I think I messed up the baking soda part… 🙁
Why would you use coconut oil? Doesn’t it make them all sticky? 👎
Coconut oil actually helps keep the cookies moist! Try it before dismissing it. 😊
Just okay for me. They weren’t as sweet as I hoped. More sugar next time?
