Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

May 8, 2025

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?

    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! 😊

    2. 2 stars
      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    Can I swap the coconut oil for butter? I only have butter, like. 🤔

    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? 👎

    1. User avatar ethan.okuneva46 says:

      4 stars
      Coconut oil actually helps keep the cookies moist! Try it before dismissing it. 😊

  47. User avatar Thufir Hawat says:

    3 stars
    Just okay for me. They weren’t as sweet as I hoped. More sugar next time?
