Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

[AshleeWhoa]

grossest cookies I and my family have ever tasted!  A contributor could have been the carob chips that where used (which I forgot to taste beforehand) but the cookie part tasted like crap too.  The cookies came out white looking (nothing like the pictures). If I were to repeat this recipe I would use non carob chips and I would not use turbinado sugar...

I totally agree. Idk what i did wrong. Min ecame out gross

Yuck.  I'm sad I wasted my delicious choc chips on this recipe.

The sugar is overpowering.  Needs to be reduced, and possbly sub some brown sugar.
 
I used canola oil and I think this was another part of the problem I had with the recipe.  Gross.  If I were to try this recipe again, I would DEFINITELY use Earth Balance instead.

That said, I don't think I'll try it again.  The cookies came out of the oven barely cooked through and now, a day later, kept safe all night in an airtight container, they're hard as rocks.

Can someone refund my choc chips?

best cookies ever! love them with soy milk. any suggestions on where to find vegan chocolate or carob chips at a reasonable price? health food stores are kind of pricey, even the grocery store. only had one type in stock, $5 for a small bag.

Delicious, simple, awesome!  I used 100% whole wheat pastry flour and about 3/4 cups worth of chocolate chips.  I also added in 1/3 cup of crushed pretzels. (Sounds weird but it's an amazing combo, trust me.) The dough seemed a little crumbly so I used an extra 1-2 tablespoons of water.  I was easily able to roll the dough into balls, then I slightly flattened them and baked on parchment paper exactly 10 minutes.  The cookies turned out excellent, they hardened right up on the outside but stayed soft and chewy on the inside.  I shared these with a group of friends who completely devoured them and raved about how good they were. Thank you for an excellent recipe!

I bought my vegan chocolate chips at Whole Foods for $3.

This recipe is awesome! I have just become a vegetarian and i am working on goin vegan, eliminating something every week, and this recipe knocked my socks off! just goes to show that there is good vegan food too!
My dad thought the idea of vegan cookies were gross but he ended up loving them. My whole family noticed that they didnt feel as sick when they ate the vegan cookies compared to regular ones.
I took them to my office today and all the ladies couldn't believe how good they were!!
Thank you for this recipe!!!!

This receipt looks deliciouse

I've made this a few times before and loved it. But today a friend and I wanted cookies, and I didn't feel like doing a lot of work. So I put it in a pizza pan, baked it for 16minutes, rotating 180 degrees halfway through, and it came out AMAZING!! The center was a little soft, but that was the best part  There isn't much of that pan left, between the two of us...

I am a new veggie and made these cookies the day I found this recipe.  ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!  They were a little crumbly but I think with some practice they'll turn out looking just fine.  Thanks a lot!

These were pretty good.  I split the recipe in half, and made half with white flour and half with whole wheat.

The whole wheat half, I added in 2 tbsp of cocoa powder.  I personally liked the double chocolate ones better, but the other taste testers liked the original recipe more.  More for me I guess!

I did use turbinado, and tried to dissolve it as much as possible in the oil, water, vanilla mixture without heating it too much.  Could still feel some of the granuals in it when eating though...does anyone have a suggestion for that?  That's the only thing I hate about using turbinado.

I used all purpose flour, white sugar & soy milk in place of the water... the cookie dough came out pretty dry, so I added another 1/4 cup soy milk and it came together really well in the end. I didn't flip them, I baked them for 10 min at 350 and they turned out GREAT.

Enjoy Life brand mini chips (possibly relegated to the gluten-free section of a hfs) are the best.  They taste great, are mini so you get a greater distribution of chocolate, and they don't melt at room temperature.  I've tried other brands and these are worth the $4 a bag.  If you're near a Trader Joe's, their semi-sweet chips are vegan.  You can find them on the shelves in the freezer aisle.  They're less expensive, but they also melt a bit at room temperature.  When I use them in something like cookies they get my fingers messy when eating said cookies.

Once I got started making these I realized that I had baking soda and not powder. (Darn trader joe's misleading packaging!)
I was not able to run out to the store so instead of using the called for 2 tsp of baking powder I subbed 1 smallish tsp of baking soda in its place. The cookies came out both beautiful and  tasty. My friend  that I made them for kept telling me over and over how delicious they were, and even emailed me this morning to tell me again. and shes not even vegan!
just wanted to say that baking soda WILL work in a pinch,  just use less, about half the amount called for.
Also, I almost always sub earth balance in place of the oil.
