World’s Most Delicious Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
My friend Kate is a vegan and she is always making the most delicious vegan food. I love her vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe so much that I want to share it with you today. I am not a vegan myself, but understand why some people are. In Kate’s case she is an animal activist and likes to keep her house free of all animal products. These vegan cookies use margarine, cornstarch and vegan chocolate chips in lieu of more traditional cookie ingredients like eggs, butter and semisweet chocolate chips. And, I swear to you, you can NOT tell the difference. These cookies are moist and delicious with just the perfect amount of chocolate in each bite. Pour yourself a big glass of cold soy milk and dunk away for a delicious vegan afternoon snack!
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup Earth’s Balance (or smart balance) margarine, softened
½ cup turbinado sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons soy milk
½ cup vegan semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, baking soda in one bowl. In another bowl, cream together brown and turbinado sugar and margarine. Dissolve the cornstarch in the soy milk and add it to the margarine and sugar. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture until blended and stir in chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon, drop cookies onto sheet, 12 to a sheet. Bake 10 minutes. These cookies should not be brown underneath and may not look done*** BUT THEY ARE! Take them out and let them cool.
Makes 30 cookies
I must say that these are certainly the best chocolate chip cookies out there! For over a year I have been trying out all different vegan chocolate chip cookie recipes–never to be fully satisfied with the result. These, though, are nearly perfect! (And the only additions that would make them perfect are easy: at least 1/2 tsp salt and an extra handful of choc chips.) The flavor is reminiscent of the chocolate chip cookies I ate as a child and the texture is superb. My search for the best vegan chocolate chip cookies has come to an end!
That is so cool Megan, I am glad you enjoy!
These are amazing! They’re my go to cookie recipe. The only problem is I found the dough to be a bit dry, so I added some extra alt milk.
smart balance is not vegan…. but other than that, these sound great. i’m going to make them this weekend
seems great…but where i can find the1 cup Earth’s Balance (or smart balance) margarine in Taipei? or anything i could use ?
Smart Balance Light with flax oil IS vegan. the only vegan one they make. i had to add flour to mine. did anyone else? i thought the mixture was quite thin. gettting ready to pop them in the oven now!
