I love to make classic Chocolate Chips Cookies and sometimes healthy variations like my Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies or Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies but all these recipe take quite a few ingredients to whip them up. So I went on a quest to find the simplest way to make an authentic chocolate chip cookies, while keeping it completely plant-based. And this recipe I’ve developed is just amazing. Full of taste, super easy to make, and ready to munch in 25 minutes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

You only need 5 ingredients to make these healthy cookies.

All-Purpose Flour – Provides structure to the cookies. If using gluten-free all-purpose flour, try a 1:1 blend. However, this hasn’t been tested with this recipe, so results may vary. Almond flour or coconut flour wouldn’t work due to their different absorbency. Almond Milk – A neutral, plant-based liquid to help bind the ingredients. You can substitute any plant-based milk, like soy or oat milk. If the batter feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of milk to help smooth it out. Vegan Butter – Softened vegan butter is essential for the texture. It can be substituted with margarine, and ensures the cookies are rich and buttery without dairy. Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy creaming with sugar. Sugar – Provides sweetness and helps create the crispy edges. For a chewier texture, you can substitute half white sugar and half brown sugar. Brown sugar will add more moisture and a deeper flavor. Dark Chocolate Chips – The star of the cookies! Feel free to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, or even chocolate chunks for a more rustic look. You can also add extras like white chocolate or nuts for variety.
