Welcome! You need a truly great vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe that delivers soft, chewy centers and bakery-style results without complicated steps. This one-bowl recipe uses simple ingredients and requires no chilling time, making it perfect for your next sweet craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (replaces eggs)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan 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 light and fluffy. You can do this by hand or with a hand mixer.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and applesauce until fully 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 or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each mound. These cookies spread well.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps achieve the gooey center texture.

Notes

  • For extra thick vegan chocolate chip cookies, chill the dough balls for 15 minutes before baking, even though this recipe is designed for no chill.
  • Use high-quality vegan chocolate chips for the best melty texture.
  • If you prefer crispier edges, bake for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
