Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sharing is caring!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are rich and dense bursting with chocolate flavour. This is an easy one-bowl best cookie recipe for Christmas or when you have that chocolaty craving.

These whole wheat vegan chocolate chip cookies are incredibly easy to make and all you need is to mix all the ingredients one by one and you are done. 

These vegan cocoa cookies are a perfect evening treat with some hot milk or for your Santa if he needs some butterless cookies. I would love to try these Plant-Based Chocolate Chip Cookies from Home Food Healthy life, where she has used a combination of oat flour and all-purpose flour. A good way to sneak in some oats.

Ingredients used in Coconut Oil Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Flour – This cookie can be made using all-purpose flour/plain flour or whole wheat flour. Cookies with whole wheat flour have a slightly coarser texture.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies using coconut oil

Coconut oil is used as fat in these eggless cookies. Do not worry you will not taste the coconut oil if you do not like it. I was worried too when I baked them for the first time, but surprisingly they do not scream coconut. In fact, they add a delicious taste to the cookies. 

Dark Brown Sugar is used as a sweetener. One can use normal white sugar or any form of granulated sugar.

Cocoa powder is used to give the necessary chocolate flavour. Chocolate chips add more to the chocolate flavour as well as add to the texture. I have used white chocolate chips here, but one can use white, milk or dark as desired.

Adding Cornstarch in cookies helps in crumbly and tender texture. The cookies would be crumbly but would be soft and hold shape. 

These vegan coconut oil cookies are egg-free and use flax egg instead of egg. It is used binding. If you eat an egg, you can replace the flax egg with 1 egg.

Baking powder, Baking soda is used as a leavening agent. Vanilla extract, Salt is used for flavour. 

Replacement of Coconut oil in cookies

However, if you do not like coconut oil, you can replace it with vegetable, olive, or any flavorless oil. 

Replacement of Cornstarch in cookies

If you do not want to use Cornstarch, simply replace it with twice the amount of flour.

Replacement of Flaxegg

1 flax egg can be replaced with 1 egg. To replace 1 flax egg, replace 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal(powder) + 2.5 tablespoon lukewarm water with 1 egg.
