Vegan Chocolate Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cream coconut oil and brown sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed, about 5 minutes. Mix in almond milk and vanilla until incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add the flour mixture to the almond milk mixture, stirring until combined; dough will be crumbly. Fold in chocolate chips.
• Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on ungreased or parchment-lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball out a bit with your palm, pressing any crumbs back together.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown and set, about 8 minutes.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the brown sugar, coconut oil, applesauce, 1/4 cup of water, vanilla and molasses together in a large bowl until smooth and combined. Stir the flour mixture into the brown sugar mixture until just combined, then fold in the chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets leaving at least 1 inch between each mound. Bake one tray at a time in the center of the oven until the edges are lightly set and the bottom and the centers are still soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line three baking pans with parchment paper and set aside.
• Whisk the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and xanthan gum together in a medium bowl.
• Put the sugar, applesauce, coconut oil, grapeseed oil and vinegar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/3 cup water, until fully combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spoon heaping tablespoons (or a small scoop) of the dough onto the baking sheets, 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake the cookies in two batches, two sheets at a time, until the cookies are set and beginning to crack on the top, 16 to 18 minutes. Rotate the sheets halfway through for even baking.
• Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, and then remove to a rack and cool completely. Bake the remaining cookies on the third pan following the above directions.

Steps:

• Tip the coconut oil and sugars into a bowl and whisk until completely combined, then whisk in the coconut milk and vanilla. Tip the flour, baking powder, bicarb and a good pinch of flaky sea salt into the mix to make a thick batter, then fold through the chocolate chips. Chill the batter for at least 1hr. Can be made 2 days ahead.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a couple of baking sheets with baking parchment, then scoop or roll plum-sized balls of the dough and place them on the baking sheets about 2cm apart. Flatten ever so slightly and sprinkle with a bit more flaky salt if you want. Cook on the middle shelf for 12-15 mins, turning the tray once, until the cookies have spread and are golden but still soft in the middle. Leave to cool slightly, then lift the cookies onto a cooling rack while you bake another batch. Will keep in a biscuit jar for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Cream applesauce, oil, sugar and 1 T water.
• Mix in remaining 2-3 T of water and beat well.
• In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients.
• Add to applesauce mixture and mix until combined.
• If applicable, add chocolate chips last.
• Refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat oven 400°F and grease a cookie sheet well.
• Make approximately 24 balls (or you can do drop cookies).
• Bake for approximately 8 minutes-they should be very puffy. Be careful not to over-bake as they will become quite hard when cooled.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet, they will fall considerably due to the lack of egg.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Grind flax seeds in a blender until they become a fine powder, then add the soy milk and blend for about 30 seconds more and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking soda and salt.
• Cream the sugar and oil in a separate large bowl.
• Add the flax/soy milk mixture and mix well.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Slowly mix in the dry ingredients (the original recipe does not call for a mixer, but you may want to use yours.).
• Mix in the chocolate chips.
• Roll dough into 1" balls and flatten into disks about 1 1/2" in diameter.
• Place on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1" apart and bake for 10 minutes.
• Let rest on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove with a spatula to a cooling rack and cool completely.
• **For chocolate chocolate chip cherry cookies, replace 1 teaspoon of the vanilla with almond extract, and use 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup chopped cherries.
• ***For chocolate nut cookies, replace 1 teaspoon of the vanilla with a nut extract (almond, walnut, etc) and replace the chocolate chips with 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts of your choice.
