💭 The Details
I'm not even sure how I ended up on Monica's blog the other day, but I was surfing the internet and found her chocolate chip cookies recipe. In the first paragraph, she claims that they'll make you famous if you make them. So I accepted that challenge but I had to veganize them because they weren't already vegan. Here is the link to the original recipe.
We took our inspiration from her cookies but made a few key changes. The biggest being the vegan egg we use (and the amount) and the temperature we cook them at.
These vegan chocolate chip cookies are very delicious and definitely worth checking out if you're looking for some dairy-free and egg-free baking!
This was a different way of making cookies than I had ever done before, but the results are amazing. There isn't anything overly complicated about this recipe so don't worry about that. I do HIGHLY recommend using an electric hand mixer for this recipe as the dough is very thick and hard to work by hand. The one we use is linked below!
🥘 Ingredients
- Flour
- Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- Salt
- Baking Soda
- Vegan Butter
- Just Egg
- Vanilla
- Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (almost all brands are vegan)
- Flaky Salt (optional)
🍽 Equipment
- High Quality Affordable Electric Hand Mixer - If you don't have an electric hand mixer they are an absolute gamechanger! They make your significantly easier and whip recipes better than you ever cook. I highly recommend using one for this recipe because of how thick it is!
- Aesthetic Mixing Bowls - These mixing bowls aren't going to make your cookies taste better but they are very aesthetically appealing and are of great quality! Every kitchen needs a set of good-quality mixing bowls!
🔪 Instructions
- Start by melting ¾ of a cup of vegan butter and setting it aside to cool.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl mix together flour, salt, and baking soda and set aside.
- In another large mixing bowl combine your ¾ of a cup of melted vegan butter, 1 cup of packed brown sugar, and half a cup of granulated sugar, with an electric hand mixer until well combined. Add 3 tablespoons of Just Egg and 2 teaspoons of Vanilla to the mix and combine.
- Using your hand mixer on low combine the flour mixture into the wet mixture.
- With a spatula combine 1 and a quarter cups of chocolate chips with the dough.
- Scoop ¼ of a cup of dough and form it into a ball with your hands and place them on a cookie sheet. Fill the cookie sheet separating the cookies at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the cookies start to become golden brown on the edges. The cookies may look slightly undercooked a bit when they first come out but that's okay they will continue cooking on the pan you don't want them to come out of the oven crispy.
- Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and let sit on the cookie tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
- Transfer to a cooling rack after 10 min, top each cookie with a pinch of flaky salt, and enjoy your newly found fame!

📋 Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! You can definitely make these vegan chocolate chip cookies ahead of time. Although fresh is usually (who doesn't love a warm cookie dipped in a cold glass of oat milk??) these can easily be enjoyed later cold or warmed back up in a microwave for 15-20 seconds.
These vegan chocolate chip cookies are best stored in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. Leaving them out on the container is fine short-term but will cause them to go stale relatively quickly.

Cookies are amazing and with the added bonus of becoming famous how can you lose, they were a huge hit with everyone in house and at work, thanks
John
Awesome so glad to hear! Good luck with your newfound fame!
Liza
These are the best vegan chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made! I used a flax egg instead of Just Egg (1.5 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water, because I halved the recipe). Delicious. Definitely going to make these strategically…I prefer my privacy over fame 😌
John
I’m so glad you loved them and they worked out well with the flax egg instead 🙂
Jaden
Sorry for your luck John but I went from 7-9 followers just from the time I made these cookies. But honestly if you aren’t making these cookies what are you even doing with your life. I will probably be gaining more pounds then followers ❤️
John
I can't believe a famous person is commenting on my blog! Thank you so much Jaden! <3

These cookies are fire 🔥 They melt in your mouth and aren’t too buttery or dense - they are literally the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Don’t be scared when you first see the batter - you didn’t add too much butter .. or later, too much flour. It all mixes up perfectly in the end.
John
So glad you loved them! and yes it's definitely a different way of making them than most recipes!
