Happy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
cinnamon, to taste, optional
handful vegan chocolate or carob chips
1 cup raw sugar (turbinado; sucanat works too, but sucks up a lot of the moisture)
1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup water
1. Very important-make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. It will work if they're not at room temp but it works much better if they are. Also while your oven is pre-heating put the cookie sheets you are going to use on top of the oven so they get preheated as well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in chips. Make a well in the center and set aside. In a medium size bowl, add together sugar and oil; mix well.
3. Add the vanilla and then add the water; mix well. Add the wet to the well in the dry. Mix it well but be careful not to overwork it. Add more chips if you need to.
4. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Put them in the oven. Bake for 5 minutes and then flip and rotate the sheets (top to bottom and 180 degree rotation). Bake another 4 minutes and check them. The cookies are done when they seem a little bit softer then you want them to be. They will harden up some as they cool. I usually go in 2 minute increments from here until they get to where I like them.
5. Take them out when they are done and move them to wire cooling racks. If they split or come apart when you try to remove them let them sit on the pan for 2 minutes before transferring them to the racks.
These cookies have come a long way, lots of time and tasting spent on getting them to where they are now. Vegans and non vegans love them. In the words of my 6 year old son:Mom, you're the greatest because you know how to make the best cookies. Enjoy and let me know if you have questions. Sweet travels.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
No joke, I have probably tried every single cookie, brownie and cupcake recipe on here and they all taste like bland oil and flour! But these cookies were AMAZING!!!!! Omg, I have made like 5 batches, all perfect. I used vegan butter ( Aussie earth balance equiv.), no name brand dark cooking choc and raw organic sugar. These are a hit with everyone :) thankyou!
These were absolutely wonderful. They have a healthier taste to them, not overly sweet at all. They were also so simple to make! I don't like chocolate chips so I left them out and they taste just perfect.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Just like everyone said... best chocolate chip cookies ever! Yes, the batter is a little dry. I added maybe about 1/6th cup soymilk. It made 18 cookies, it could've made 19 if I didn't eat the raw batter :) and baked in about 8 minutes. They came out thick and fluffy and perfect. 1/2 tsp of cinnamon was just enough for that warm hint of homemade, if you know what I mean.
;)bmade these again and they were gone the same day!
I loved making these cookies, but I was reading some reviews and my cookies were actually very 'cakeish' like. And I made them into ball shapes in my tray but they 'melted' and changed form, opposing what everyone said about them.
Does anyone know what I did wrong for this recipe so that it it a bit more cookie like, crunchy or chewy, and I wanted to make them 'fatter' because mine came out flat.
Thanks!
Cookies were delicious! I used regular sugar and had to add a little extra water. I also refrigerated the dough during each baking session. Turned out great. This will be going in the recipe box!
Absolutley TERRIFIC recipie. I had the same prob as some with a somewhat dry dough in the beggining. I decided to add a touch more oil, a touch more water and about 2 Tbs of agave nectar.... It definitly did the trick and made a beautiful dough that made an even more delicious cookie! My really Italian PROMEAT father even liked them!!!
i liked this one
+1 ;)b
These are soo damn good!! :D Love love love them!! Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
I'm waiting for my cookies to cool right now :)>>> although I'm sure they are delicious because the dough was delicious, they are white. Little ghost cookies. It's spooky! I don't like it and I think I will add something like molasses next time to make them brown. I used melted earth balance instead of oil and almond milk instead of water. I thought the batter seemed dry but it all came together at the end and I rolled into balls and flattened since someone else commented that they don't spread. Ok I just ate one and they are pretty good. So my only advice is if you want them to look as good as they taste use brown sugar(sugar+molasses) or just add some molasses. ;)b
