Pumpkin Seeds make a great addition to this fabulous recipe. The balance the sweetness of the chocolate chips very well.

These cookies are 10 times better than any dairy choc-chip cookie I've ever had. I used Tropical Source peanut butter choco chips and macadamia nuts(instead of reg. choco chips and walnuts) and almost fainted whilst eating them...they are AMAZING. My dairy eating friends are dying over these cookies as well.

Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful recipie! As a new vegan, I have been a little worried about not being able to thrill ALL people with my cooking/baking anymore. But, I can definitely see the love in your recipie: I'm going to make these asap!

These cookies ROCK! I've made a bunch of cookies from this site (no fewer than 8 kinds), and these are definitely the best by a long shot. I usually use a banana and 3 1/2 tablespoons applesauce as replacements for the eggs. Now ive got the real deal though (Ener-G Egg Replacer) so im about to try that. Oh, and I usually have to end up adding a couple extra tablespoons of oil, or soymilk or applesauce, since the recipe always ends up really dry otherwise. Great stuff!! I see why they're famous!

I thought these were WAY too greasy. I'll have to experiment with them to make them less greasy. More flour maybe? They have promise, though.

These are the best vegan cookies I have ever had! If I didn't make them myself I wouldn't believe it. Great recipe, this ones a keeper.

Dang these were good! By far the best vegan cookies I've ever had. I plan on using the dough for my mother recipe to make other cookies from. This recipe also makes really good monster cookies. Now if I could only make a chocolate cake that is light and moist!

These were great!! However somehow my dough ended up really dry and I had to add between 1/4 and 1/2 cup of soy milk in order to make the dough stick together and make a cookie.

WOW!!! I changed the recipe a bit--I only used half a cup of margarine, plus about 1/4-1/3 c. applesauce. Then I used a banana and a bit more applecause for the eggs. They turned out SO light and cakey, I don't know if I can call these cookies. Maybe they're really muffins in disguise...

These cookies are incredible. The first batch I put in the oven and then realized I forgot the oats. The second batch I added the oats. It didn't matter either way, they were both tremendous! Best. Cookies. Ever.

These cookies ROCK!!!, I tried them with a bananna and only 1 egg replacer, chewy buttery flakey, Try them they are soooo good.

Delicious cookies! I followed the ingredients just as the measurements stated. For the nuts (I used chopped pecans instead of walnuts), coconut, and oatmeal I used 1/2 c each. I baked my cookies at 375 F for around 10-11 min, and I did not turn the tray at all. I'll definitely be making these again!

These are absolutely the BEST cookies in the world. I will never make another cookie again, take me to your leader!

I'll join the chorus here- these are fantastic! Anyone who's ever doubted that vegan baked goods could be tasty will eat their words when they try these. Thanks!

These cookies not only TASTE out-of-this-world, they LOOK totally amazing, too. Mouthwatering & marvellous. I left the walnuts out so my kids can take them to their nut-free-zone school for their recess snacks. I also used whole wheat flour so they are kinda healthy (in my own mind only...ha ha ha!!!!). You can't go wrong with these cookies. BRAVO!!!

These cookies rule! Substitutions I made: -sucanat instead of sugar -5 tablespoons ground flaxseed meal whipped in blender with 6 tablespoons water, instead of using egg replacer -pecans instead of walnuts -added 1 teaspoon each of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg These were so good that my boyfriend ate six for breakfast, and he's a health nut. The best cookies! They stay chewy!

I have made these twice now with a few of the suggested substitutions. They are the best! Today my husband came home and told me he shared them at work and the head chef said they are the best cookie he ever had and wants the recipe. BTW, I use 3/4 cup Grade B Maple Syrup and 3/4 cup Organic Sucanet instead of the sugar. I use pecans instead of walnuts and use 1/2 cup of the coconut, old fashioned oats and pecans. This is the only recipe for cookies we need anymore for our household! Thank you!

when i saw all the accolades these cookies received, I just had to try them. I made a batch the other night and ate a few right after I took them out of the oven. I thought they were OK, nothing spectacular. I was kind of disappointed though, after everything I'd read. I had some more the next day and WOW!!!! They tasted so much better!! Somehow having them sit overnight really, really improved the flavor and texture. They are REALLY awesome coookies! So my advice to anyone who makes these and is let down at first, is to just wait a day and then eat them- you won't be disappointed :-)

these came out really really dry for me...which isn't very uncommon as far as vegan cookies go.

Just made these and they are great! Its a forgiving recipe, too. I mistakenly added a full cup of oatmeal, coconut, and nuts instead of the recommended 1/4 to 1/2 cup, and they still turned out beautifully. Delicious, too. Thanks!

Okay, I REALLY have to stop making these cookies! Even my baker, omnivore, thinks-I've gone-off-the-deep-end mum loves them. I can't find the egg replacer so I just used a ripe mashe'd banana, Yummy! Thanks for posting

These are the best cookies ever. I did make a mistake the last time I made them & they got even better! Instead of 1/8 teaspoon baking powder, I added 1 teaspoon. I thought they were going to turn out like little cakes, but they were excellent. It made them a bit less buttery & more moist. Thanks for the fabulous recipe!

These cookies are awesome, I add soy milk for a more kneadable dough, plus I add vegan white choc chips, pumkin seeds, flax seeds, only 1/2 cup earth balance butter, almonds, and lots of love.

Pretty good! I've made these for college meetings and fundraisers where there are a lot of vegans, and they are usually popular. The recipe made more than 40 cookies. They were very flat, and not too greasy or dry. I substituted 3.5 T applesauce and a ripe banana for the Egg Replacer, used a bit more than 3/4 c margarine, and added 2 T macadamia oil. I used 1/2 c macadamia nuts, coconut, and oatmeal. Warning: they are addictive!

These are the best cookies ever! Even my non vegan friends and husband loved them. Thanks for such a great recipe!

These are great! To cut down on fat I put in 1/2 cup of vegan margerine and 1/2 cup of applesauce. When it came time to add the goodies at the end I went to the pantry and just started tossing in handfuls of things...pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries, coconut, chopped walnuts with a couple of cashews thrown in for good measure!! Baked for 12 minutes (without turning) in a 375 degree oven. Fabulous! Soft and moist with texture from the goodies. Thanks!

Wow, delicious! I made these with just the chocolate chips and 1/2 cup oatmeal (because I don't like nuts and didn't have any coconut), and I think I'll use 1 cup of oatmeal next time. Also, I used 1 tsp of cinnamon.

After reading all of the positive comments, I knew I had to try this recipe. Especially since my butter-loving Mom was staying the night at my place! I made the recipe as stated and had no problems with the dough. I found it to be a little dry at first, but I started mixing the dough with my hands and all of the flour was incorporated easier that way. After I put the second batch of cookies in the oven, I realized that I forgot to add the oatmeal. It didn't seem to affect the recipe, it just gave the cookie a different texture. My partner and I thought that the cookies taste excellent, but are too buttery and dense. The oatmeal will the give the cookie a more chewy texture. Anyway, great recipe, I will defintely be making these again!! Thanks for posting this recipe!!

These cookies are awesome. They will be my chocolate chip cookie of choice from now on. I've tried alot of cookie recipes over the last two years since going vegan, and although some have been really good, these are by far the best. Thanks for the recipe.

These were tasty, but really, really greasy. If I had it to do again, I'd use less margarine (I used Earth Balance), or maybe substitute some for applesauce as other people have recommended.

Excellent!! After reading all these comments I had to bake these as part of my first annual vegan cookie bake off. Heres what I changed (based on what I read here before making them): Cut the vegan butter down to a little less than 3/4 cup. Added 1/4 cup of soy milk (it was needed) Added in 1/2 cup of oats, coconut and walnuts YUMMY!! Maybe the best of all the recipes I made. Thank you!

After a really really greasy first experience with these cookies, I tried them again. This time I used half the margarine, and substituted one mashe'd banana for one of the eggs. They came out fabulous. Crisp on the outside, but soft and chewy within. Delicious.

These are totally bomb...I've been making them for almost a year and a half any time dessert is needed and everyone always asks me for the recipe. Sometimes I omit some of the flour for a more florentine-like cookie and they're delish also. A recipe for the ages.
