Literally the Best Vegan Cookies
Are you ready for the ultimate vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe? Look no further because this recipe is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth while also being guilt-free! These cookies are vegan, meaning no eggs or butter were used in the recipe, and they are also made with unbleached all-purpose flour, making them a healthier option.
You'll want to dive into these cookies fresh out of the oven. Make sure to wait and let them set up first. Then enjoy the best vegan chocolate chip cookies ever! 😊😊
But, don't be fooled by the "healthy" label, these cookies are still sinfully delicious! For the dairy, we subbed in Miyoko's Vegan Butter and added a flax egg in place of a chicken egg. The secret ingredient is high-quality chopped 70% dark chocolate, which adds a rich, complex flavor that makes your taste buds dance. Trust me, even non-vegans will be impressed by these cookies!
The best part about these cookies is that you don’t need any special baking skills or special equipment. If you have a mixer, go ahead and use it. If you don’t, don’t worry. You can mix these up by hand, literally. Or, with a spatula.
One of the best things about vegan chocolate chip cookies is that they can be made with a variety of different ingredients, allowing you to customize the flavor and texture to suit your preferences. Some popular ingredients include nuts, dried fruits, and oats. This gives you the opportunity to experiment with different flavor combinations and find the perfect vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe that you love.
Tasty Pumpkin Seed Cookies Too 😉
The shredded coconut (a great source of healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants) is my go to for this healthier cookie recipe.
So that’s what we did with the second recipe in this article. We added in pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, & unsweetened shredded coconut to these crunchy chocolate chip Cookie Chips®. Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats, while sliced almonds are a great source of protein and healthy fats. And shredded coconut is a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and natural sweetness. Plus, the coconut gives these cookies a little chew, keeping them crunchy on the edges. It’s a perfect snack, a great lunch box treat for the kids, and a delicious dessert after a great dinner.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your ingredients and let's get baking! Both the vegan chocolate chip cookies and the roasted pumpkin seeds cookies will have you feeling happy, satisfied, and most importantly, guilt-free! Happy baking and bon appétit!
