How to make the best vegan chocolate chip cookies
This is an easy, 1-bowl recipe that’s ready in less than 30 minutes.
First, we cream together the butter and sugars with a hand mixer on medium speed. Then add the flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water) and vanilla. Then, we will add the dry ingredients and mix together.
Finally, we finish with the chocolate chips!
Is chocolate vegan?
This is a question I get a lot! Most dark chocolate, 70% dark or higher, are vegan because they contain no milk ingredients. So, they are what I call “accidentally vegan” – i.e. they’re vegan, but are not promoted as vegan.
Many standard chocolate chips, on the other hand, contain milk in their ingredient list. So, it’s important to check the ingredients on the package when looking for chocolate chips.
For this reason, I like to buy vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips. My favourite brand is by Enjoy Life. They also have chocolate chunks, which you could use in this recipe as a swap instead of chopping up a chocolate bar into chunks.
Peta has an article for vegan chocolate chip brands that could be helpful for your next grocery haul.
