To make these bad boys, you’ll need vegan butter, brown sugar, plant milk, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, and of course, vegan chocolate chips. Mix, scoop, bake, and voila! Chewy perfection.

Pro tip: Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before diving in. I know it’s hard, but your tongue will thank you for not burning it on molten chocolate.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

And there you have it, folks! Fifteen mouthwatering vegan chocolate chip cookie recipes that’ll make you forget all about the egg and dairy-filled versions.

Remember, baking is an art, not a science. (Okay, it’s actually a science, but let’s pretend it’s not for the sake of my argument.) Don’t be afraid to experiment and make these recipes your own.

Add extra chocolate chips, swap out nuts, or heck, throw in some potato chips if you’re feeling wild. The vegan baking police won’t come after you, I promise.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, all this talk of cookies has made me hungry. I’m off to whip up a batch (or three) of these delicious treats.

Happy baking, my fellow cookie enthusiasts! May your cookies be chewy, your chocolate chips be plentiful, and your kitchen always smell like a little slice of vegan heaven. 🍪💚
