- Fast prep: Whip them up in no time.
- Easy cleanup: Minimal bowls mean less mess.
- Big flavor: Enjoy a delightful mix of sweet and chocolatey.
What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
To make these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup easy and ensures your cookies release without sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, all-purpose flour, coconut sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir well so the flavors and leavening are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. This blend adds richness and a touch of warmth.
Step 4: Combine and Fold in Chocolate Chips
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, making sure they’re scattered throughout for gooey bites in every cookie.
Step 5: Scoop the Dough
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches of space between each. The cookies will spread as they bake.
Step 6: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly soft. This gives you cookies with chewy middles and crisp edges.
Step 7: Cool Before Serving
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This quick rest helps them set while staying tender and delicious.
Serving Ideas That Make It Shine
These Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies shine even brighter with a few cozy pairings:
- Serve them warm with a scoop of your favorite dairy-free ice cream.
- Enjoy alongside fresh fruit for a sweet contrast.
- Drizzle with a rich chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Keep It Fresh: Storage & Reheat Tips
To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. They will last in the fridge for about a week. You can freeze them for up to three months. When it’s time to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or use an air fryer for a quick crisp-up.

FAQs About Chewy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
What can I use instead of almond flour?
If you don’t have almond flour on hand, oat flour works beautifully. It creates a slightly heartier texture while still keeping the cookies soft and chewy. Be sure to measure carefully to keep the balance just right.
How should I store these vegan cookies?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for about a week. For longer storage, freeze baked cookies for up to three months. A quick warm-up in the oven or air fryer revives their fresh-baked goodness.
Why are my vegan cookies spreading too much?
Excess liquid or warm dough often causes this. Try chilling the dough for 20–30 minutes before baking it helps control spreading and gives you a thicker, chewier cookie.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free too?
Yes! Simply replace the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. The cookies will stay soft and chewy while being both vegan and gluten-free.
What mix-ins go well with this recipe?
Chopped walnuts, pecans, shredded coconut, or dried cherries all add delicious variety. For a flavor twist, try adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top just before baking.
