You can make these bakery-style vegan chocolate chip cookies that are soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate. This easy recipe requires no chilling time and tastes just like classic comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces eggs)
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and applesauce until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips by hand.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You do not need to chill the dough.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, slightly reduce the amount of applesauce or use slightly less flour.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the vegan butter with melted refined coconut oil.
  • Press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls before baking for a more appealing look.
