Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Jump to Recipe • Print Recipe

These super easy vegan chocolate chip cookies are super tasty and take less than 30 minutes to make. I adapted the recipe from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. The original recipe called for canola oil. I happened to have walnut oil on hand so I decided to try it in place of some of the canola oil. I also opted to use safflower oil instead of canola for the remainder. I think any nut oil, like almond or hazelnut, would give these cookies a nice flavor so feel free to play around. You can easily mix them up by hand so you can whip up a batch whenever you get a craving. The recipe only makes about 16 to 18 cookies depending on how big you make them.

Gather all the wet ingredients and then combine until it looks like caramel. Since I am attached to my stand mixer I decided to use it, but I’ve also mixed them by hand using a good old fashioned whisk and spatula.

Add in the dry ingredients and then fold in the chocolate chips.

Scoop out about 2 Tablespoons of batter per cookie. The batter will be pretty thin. I like to use parchment lined cookie sheets because they are guaranteed not to stick and there is no cleanup!

Bake @ 350F for 10 minutes and they’re done! You can print out the full recipe below.
