The most perfect Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies! Soft chewy buttery centre with crispy edges and loaded with chocolate chips! Easy 1 bowl recipe no one would guess is vegan! So chocolatey and full of rich flavour!

I don’t know about you but classic chocolate chip cookies for me are slightly soft, chewy and crispy around the edges. you know the traditional ones like nestle tollhouse from your childhood.

And that is what I give you today folks my tried and true go-to vegan cookie recipe that are seriously the best vegan chocolate chip cookies ever! Eggless, dairy free and supreme!

Vegans and non vegans alike love these cookies! Truly a great dessert, incredibly delicious!

This cookie recipe is fool proof I kid you not! You don’t need to chill the cookie dough and you don’t need a mixer of any kind everything gets mixed with a whisk than a wooden spoon. The instructions are so easy to follow and the ingredients are easy to find pantry staples- (no weird ingredients)

I bake these cookies for my husband all the time! They’re his favourite in fact all my non vegan family and friends adore them, They’re the ultimate!

Vegan chocolate chip cookie ingredients:

all purpose flour
granulated sugar and optional brown sugar too ( for softer cookie you have option of adding brown sugar😊)
non dairy unsweetened plant milk, I use almond milk but you can use any variety you like even canned coconut milk!
salt and baking soda
cinnamon, adds great flavour
instant coffee, gives the cookies a wonderful richness
vegan butter, I use earth balance, tub or sticks work fine. becel works great too just make sure to read label, make sure it's vegan. There are a couple different kinds.
vanilla extract
molasses adds flavour and chewiness to cookies
vegan chocolate chips of course😊
walnuts for a great nutty crunch!

How to make chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies:

Ok let's get started, Preheat oven to 350° Line a large baking sheet . Set aside

To a large glass mixing bowl add the melted vegan butter (or melt right in the bowl in microwave) Whisk in the sugar(s), vanilla, plant milk and molasses.

Add in the dry ingredients starting with the flour. Then add the baking soda, salt, cinnamon and instant coffee on top of the flour . Stir with a wooden spoon until everything is mixed. Then fold in your chocolate chips and nuts.

Drop the dough by large spoonfuls, or use a cookie scoop or roll into balls (about 3 tablespoons per cookie) onto the baking sheet

Flatten the cookies with the bottom of your measuring cup and bake in the oven at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy!

What replaces the butter?

I replaced the butter with Earth Balance vegan butter, and used a little plant milk in place of the eggs. No applesauce was needed! And no flax eggs either. It’s a really simple straight forward cookie recipe! That yields excellent results!

Pro tips for crispy chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies:

Use melted butter it increases the chewiness
For crispier cookies bake a tiny bit longer and using all white sugar increases the crispness where as using more brown sugar results in a softer cookie
For softer chocolate chip cookies bake for a shorter period of time and or swap out a little brown sugar for all white sugar!
I use molasses to add chewiness and flavour
