Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? They’re the most classic cookie, and it would be a huge miss to not include a vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe in my arsenal of treats for you! I dedicated some time to perfecting the right method. I went through many that were either too crispy, too oily, did not rise or spread too thin. This recipe has been updated from it’s original. Who could have thought that my World’s Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies could get any better?!
They’re sweet, moist with just the right amount of chocolate chips. They have a crispy edge with a soft tender inside. All in all, the perfect chocolate chip cookie! My secrets to perfecting the vegan chocolate chip cookie are to use typical cookie ingredients. We aren’t getting “vegan fancy” here with flax or chia egg and no-nut butter. Just a simple mix of coconut oil and vegan butter to keep the cookies moist and soft.
Fun Fact: Did you know that chocolate chip cookies were made by accident? In the 1930s, Ruth Wakefield, owner of the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts, added broken chocolate bar pieces into her cookie batter thinking that they would melt. Instead, the classic dessert was born.
These vegan chocolate chip cookies are bite-size, so you’ll want to use mini chocolate chips instead of the regular size.
