These chewy vegan chocolate chip cookies have a perfect balance of a soft, chewy center and crispy edges, made with simple pantry ingredients and no eggs or dairy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour (unbleached recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup (75g) melted coconut oil (can substitute with vegan butter)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (130g) vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted coconut oil with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in applesauce and vanilla extract until glossy and slightly thick.
  4. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in the vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set but soft. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15 minutes if cookies spread too much. Avoid overbaking to maintain chewiness. Use a sturdy baking sheet to prevent uneven baking. Let cookies cool completely on a rack to keep edges crisp. Vegan butter or neutral oils can substitute coconut oil but may affect crispiness. Gluten-free flour blend can be used for gluten-free version.
