A delicious vegan take on the classic chocolate chip cookie.
These soft chocolate chip cookies use plant-based ingredients (did you say dairy free?!) and are baked to golden perfection for a chewy texture that will satisfy any sweet tooth.

Ingredients (makes 20 cookies/servings)
- 1 1/2 cups 100% whole wheat flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup vegan butter; softened
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tbsp. vegan egg replacement powder (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
- 5 tbsp. water (divided)
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life)
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, whisk together the butter (heat for about 15-20 seconds in the microwave to soften) and sugars. Then whisk in the egg replacement powder with 2 tablespoons of water and vanilla extract.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients into one bowl and whisk together. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water at a time to moisten the dough until all the water has been used and the dough is wet enough to work with. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Use your hands to roll the cookie dough into 1-1½ inch balls to make 20 balls of dough. Place each ball of dough about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. *
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.** When done baking, allow the cookies to settle for about 3 minutes before removing them from the pan to serve. Enjoy!
* I highly recommend baking a batch of 10 cookies on 1 pan at a time for best results.
**For a harder cookie, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes. To soften cookies even more after baking, store them in a container with a slice of bread.
