Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
These chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies are the ultimate vegan chocolate chip cookie! They are easy to make and are chewy, soft, and sweet!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup vegan butter, melted (I used Earth Balance)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flax seed + 3 tbsp warm water)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour *using spoon and level method*
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- In a small bowl, prepare one flax egg and set aside (1 tbsp flax + 3 tbsp hot water).
- In a medium-sized bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add in flax egg, vanilla, salt and baking soda and mix again with a hand mixer to combine.
- Add in flour (use the spoon and level method to mix your flour!) and mix with your hand mixer or spatula until flour is thoroughly mixed into the dough. Once combined, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Leave cookie dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lid and let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes - 1 hour. You may skip this step if you don't have time to chill the dough!
- Once your cookies have chilled, line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a cookie scooper to place cookies on the tray, about 2 inches apart from each other.
- Top with a few more chocolate chips and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges begin to brown slightly.
- Once they are done cooking, remove from the oven and let cool in the tray for about 2-3 minutes. Cookies will look slightly raw but still need to set!
- Once cookies have set, let cool for another 10 minutes, then lightly sprinkle with flaky salt. Once cookies are not too hot, transfer to an airtight container or enjoy right away!
Notes
How to store: Place cookies in an airtight container and place on the counter in room temperature for one week. You can also store your cookies in the fridge for up to one week, just remember to reheat them in the microwave for about 10 seconds for optimal enjoyment!
How to freeze: Place cookies in an airtight container and place in the freezer for up to one month. *Note: If you don't have flax seeds, these cookies can be made with chia seeds! Add 2 tbsp of chia seeds to 6 tbsp of warm water, let it set for 5 minutes and combine it into the recipe.
