These vegan chocolate chip cookies are:
- Indulgent and decadent
- Perfectly sweet
- Gluten-free
- Made using just 8 ingredients
- Ready in 20 minutes

These cookies are a true comfort food. Soft and chewy, with just the right level of sweetness, paired with those rich, melty chocolate chips. Oh, yum!
They are soft on the inside with a crunchy outside and a hint of chewiness.
These cookies are delicious enough by themselves, but you can also pair them with any nut or seed butter of your choice, dip them in this Vegan Nutella, or serve them crumbled over a vegan smoothie bowl.
How to Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Add the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt to a large mixing bowl and whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, coconut oil and almond milk.
- Combine the wet and the dry ingredients, also folding in the chocolate chips.
- Using damp hands, roll the dough into small balls and gently flatten them down on a sheet of baking paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden but still soft on the inside.

Tips & Tricks
Make it gluten free. Simply use a gluten-free baking flour to make these cookies gluten-free. I've tested it out, and it's actually what I use when I make these for myself!
Coconut Sugar. I prefer coconut sugar for baking, as it's a bit less processed and also sure to be vegan friendly. (Some brands of white sugar are not!) But you can use regular granulated white sugar if you prefer. Or even brown sugar for a slightly different flavor.
Plant Based Milk. I used almond milk in these vegan cookies, but you can also use soy milk or cashew milk for the same result.
