Ingredients
Scale
1 cup vegan butter, softened (or coconut oil)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (egg replacement)
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. You do not need a mixer for this easy vegan cookies one bowl method.
Beat in the vanilla extract and applesauce until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. For thicker cookies, press the dough balls down slightly.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look golden brown, but the centers should still look slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps achieve gooey vegan cookie centers.
Notes
For the best texture, use vegan butter sticks rather than tub margarine. If you use coconut oil, make sure it is solid but still soft.
To get that bakery style vegan cookies look, press a few extra chocolate chips onto the tops of the dough balls right before baking.
If your dough seems too soft, chill it for 15 minutes. While this recipe is no chill vegan chocolate chip cookies, a short rest helps prevent spreading if your kitchen is warm.
