Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I did it. I finally did it. I found the best vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. Ever.
No, really, this recipe is good. And I’ve tried a lot of recipes. It tastes just like its non-vegan counterpart and comes from the book Vive le Vegan, which was recommended to me by Anna of Cookie Madness. Thanks Anna!
I was craving deep dish style chocolate chip cookies so I pressed all the dough into a small dish and baked it. However, I didn’t realize the leftover Cadbury mini Easter eggs I mixed in were not vegan until after I ate some of it. Whoops! It still tasted great though!
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 10 large cookies (or 1 really big deep dish cookie bar thing)
From Vive le Vegan (This book has a ton of great recipes in it!)Ingredients:
1 cup unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup evaporated cane juice
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup (heaping) canola oil
1/2 cup of non-dairy chocolate chipsDirections:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
In a smaller bowl, add the maple syrup, molasses, vanilla, and oil. Stir until very well combined.
Next, stir in the wet ingredients and the chocolate chips to the dry and mix until combined--do not overmix!
If making cookies, bake for 11 minutes, being careful not to overbake them or they will dry out.
If making 1 big cookie, bake for 18-23 minutes, checking every so often to avoid overbaking.

I’m not vegan, but my sister in law is, and I am always on the lookout for vegan recipes to impress her with. A “best ever” will definitely have to be made
Thank you!

I made these cookies last night for the first time to serve after a yoga function and they were a big hit! I’ve been vegan-ish for about 3 months so I realize I am not the best judge since I haven’t had a “real” cookie in all that time. But many people who ate them were surprised to hear there were no eggs or butter. My husband, who eats “normal” desserts said this recipe is a definite keeper. The only modification I made was that I used avocado oil instead of canola, because I like it for baking with its higher smoke point and light flavor. I have decades of experience baking chocolate chip cookies, and I often feel disappointed when I bake something the “healthier” way. This recipe did not disappoint in any way–the cookie bars were moist and dense, not dry or crumbly. I doubled the recipe and used a 9×13 pan, which was perfect. I think I ended up baking them for somewhere between 23-25 minutes. Thank you so very much for this yummy recipe! : )

This is an interesting recipe and it sounds like it’s definitely worth trying, but, how does one do a “heaping” 1/4 cup of oil?

Put in just a bit more oil than 1/4 cup

What’s an alternative to evaporated cane juice? I can’t eat regular sugar…

Maybe sucanat? It may be hard to find in stores but it is sold online.
