    Soft Vegan Cookies with Chocolate

    • Uses only 8 ingredients

    • Beginner friendly
    • Pillowy soft and chewy

    Is chocolate vegan?

    Yes, chocolate itself is vegan! Often dairy is added to it, but there are many brands that produce vegan chocolate. Generally Chocolate with 60% or more cocoa usually contains no dairy and is "automatically" vegan. However, always check ingredient list for hidden animal products.

    Where do I find vegan chocolate?

    If you want to seek out specifically vegan chocolate at the grocery store, the best place to start looking is in the natural food aisle. Overall most grocery stores should have a natural food section. If you're not sure where it's located just ask an employee.

    However, you can often find "accidental" vegan chocolate hidden in the baking and candy isles too. If you are located in the United States look out for some of the following brands: Enjoy Life, Simple Truth Organic, Target Simply Balanced, or Lily’s (there are more).

    Soft Vegan Cookies with Chocolate

    Storage

    Store them at room temperature in an air-tight container, like Tupperware, for up to 5 days.

    How to freeze

    Freeze for up to 3 month:  place cookies in one layer into a freezer-safe sealable storage bag. Label with date of freezing. Squeeze out extra air and place flat in the freezer.

    More vegan cookie recipes

    One of my absolute favorites are these Linzer cookies. They are sandwich biscuits with a jelly filling coated in powdered sugar. So good! If you're looking for a healthier cookie, try these whole wheat ginger apple snaps. If you're still unsure, I am highly recommending you to browse through our cookie category page.

    Servings 18 medium sized cookies

    Equipment

    • Cookie sheet or baking sheet, ice cream scoop or spoon, electric mixer

    Ingredients
      

    • 150 grams vegan butter, room temperature (1 cup)
    • 200 grams cane sugar (1 cup)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 70 mililiters plant milk; eg almond, oat or soy (¼ cup)
    • 350 grams all purpose flour, unbleached (2 ½ cup)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ a bar of vegan chocolate, roughly chopped (around 60g - â…“ cup)

    Instructions
     

    Preparation

    • Preheat your oven to 180°C / 355°F. On a cutting board roughly chop chocolate until pieces have desired size and set aside. You can make them extra small or leave them a little bigger, whatever you like best.

    Cookie Dough

    • In a mixing bowl, using an electric hand or stand mixer, beat vegan butter and cane sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add plant milk and vanilla to your butter mix and beat until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, sieve and combine dry ingredients: flour, salt and baking soda. Add dry mixture to the creamy mixture and beat until cookie dough forms. With a spatula fold in your chopped chocolate.
    • Scoop the dough with an ice cream scoop (or spoon) onto a cookie sheet or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave around 5 cm (2 inches) of space between the cookies.
    • Bake for 8 - 10 minutes.
    • Let them cool down for at least 15 minutes. They will look underdone when you take them out, but during their cooling down they will firm up more. If for some reason the cookies don’t spread enough, just press them a little down with a spoon after baking. Enjoy!

      We made these with soymilk and the Enjoy Life chips and they were great! We baked some and froze the rest. Cooked from frozen they taste just as good. I think next time I will use a mix of white and brown sugar for a little more of the classic chocolate chip cookie taste. With all white sugar the recipe is almost like a chocolate chip sugar cookie, which is amazing!
