Description
Soft, chewy, and filled with melty chocolate chips, these vegan chocolate chip cookies are a plant-based twist on a classic favorite. Made with coconut oil and plant-based milk, they’re tender, sweet, and easy to whip up in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened (not melted)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup plant-based milk (e.g. almond, oat, soy)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together the softened coconut oil and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the plant-based milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
- Scoop out tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
Swap half the chocolate chips for chopped walnuts for added crunch.
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.
Mix in chopped dried cherries or cranberries for a fruity twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
