What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
To make these Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). This steady heat will help your cookies bake evenly with soft centers and perfectly set edges.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt. This blend creates a rich, chocolatey base with balanced flavor.
Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, stir the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture adds natural sweetness and a hint of warmth.
Step 4: Combine the Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until the dough comes together. The batter should be thick and chocolatey.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Every bite will be filled with melty, gooey chocolate.
Step 6: Scoop and Space
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each one. The cookies will spread slightly as they bake.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. This gives you that irresistible chewy texture.
Step 8: Cool Before Serving
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them firm up while staying tender and fudgy inside.
Serving Ideas That Make It Shine
These cookies are delicious on their own, but you can make them even better with some cozy pairings:
- Serve warm with a scoop of your favorite vegan ice cream.
- Top with fresh fruit like raspberries or sliced bananas.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
- Add a dollop of whipped coconut cream for a creamy finish.
Keep It Fresh: Storage & Reheat Tips
To enjoy your Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies longer, store them properly:
- In the fridge, they will stay fresh for up to one week.
- You can also freeze them for up to three months.
- To reheat, pop them in the oven or air fryer briefly. This will help to bring back the crispness.

FAQs About Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour, though the cookies will be a bit denser and less tender. If you’d like to keep a similar texture, consider blending half whole wheat with half oat flour.
What’s the best substitute for coconut oil?
You can use melted vegan butter or a neutral vegetable oil. Vegan butter will add a richer flavor, while vegetable oil keeps the texture moist and soft.
Are these cookies naturally gluten-free?
Yes! Since they’re made with almond flour, they’re naturally gluten-free. Just be sure all other ingredients (like chocolate chips) are certified gluten-free if needed.
Can I freeze the dough?
Absolutely. Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a tray. Once solid, transfer to a freezer bag and bake straight from frozen just add 1–2 extra minutes to the baking time.
How do I make them extra fudgy?
Add a tablespoon of brewed coffee or espresso powder to the dough. It intensifies the chocolate flavor and gives the cookies a rich, brownie-like depth.
