Remember when I first started my food blog (have you been around that long!?) and I constantly talked about how much baking scared me. Well I’ve come a long way over the past 5 years because I’ve been working on (and honestly enjoying) SO MANY great baking recipes lately. 3 of the next 4 recipes coming to the blog are baked goods. #notsorry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe is one that I have been working on for quite a while. Chocolate chip cookies are SO CLASSIC and I knew that I needed to totally nail the recipe if I was going to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m happy to say that after MANY (many) batches, I have created the BEST Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe and I’m so excited to finally be sharing it with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully you are familiar with my approach to vegan baked goods by now: take a classic recipe and change as little as possible to get it vegan and delicious. That’s exactly what I did with this vegan chocolate chip cookies recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THIS cookie recipe<\/a> from Pinch of Yum has always been a favorite of ours. I used that recipe as a starting point and then worked backwards to make it vegan. The butter and the egg is the issue. I simply swapped out the butter for a vegan butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a bit of testing, I discovered that I could leave the egg out completely and still get a totally delicious cookie! I did add in a bit of plant-based milk to to get the consistency of the batter where it needed to be. I’m always so pleased when I can get a DELICIOUS final result without needing to change things too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because these are eggless cookies, the final result does look a little different. They don’t brown up quite as well and they do not spread very much. I promise that they still taste AMAZING though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since they don’t spread, it’s necessary to kind of flatten them out a bit before baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which chocolate is vegan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all store bought chocolate chips are vegan so you’re going to want to read the labels first to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love dark chocolate in these cookies! Enjoy Life is a great dairy free option and I typically find other various brands depending on the store that I go to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PETA has a great article<\/a> where they rounded up all of the best vegan chocolate chips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients we’re working with:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Besides the fact that these cookies are fully vegan, they’re pretty run of the mill when it comes to the ingredients. Nothing weird or hard to find, promise! Let’s quickly go over everything:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
