Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make bakery-style vegan cookies are:
Vegan Butter – You need softened vegan butter or an already soft vegan margarine for this cookie recipe. Don’t use softened coconut oil. I tried, and the results are not what you expect from a cookie. It creates hard, thin cookies with no chewiness. Brown Sugar – Light soft brown sugar decreases air pockets in cookies while creaming the sugar in softened vegan butter. Therefore, it prevents the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them compact. White Sugar – White sugar is the key to aerating the cookie dough and making creamy puffy cookies. Plant-Based Milk of choice – Any plant-based milk works as long as it’s room temperature not too cold. You can use any almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk, or soy milk. All-Purpose Flour – or white spelt flour, both work fine. If you prefer almond flour, try my Almond Flour Chocolate Chips Cookies. Baking Powder and Baking Soda are used as raising agents. Make sure you use a fresh batch, or the cookies won’t puff up. Flaxseed Meal – Make a fresh batch of flax meal from ground flax seeds then combine it with lukewarm water to activate the fiber. This forms a natural egg replacer that will add a true chewy cookie texture that we all love in bakery-style cookies. Vanilla Extract – To add an extra touch of flavor and make these cookies perfect. Salt – is optional but it does balance the sweetness of the cookie Dark Chocolate Chips – Not all dark chocolate is vegan, so pick vegan chocolate chips!

Carine’s Baking Tips
Let’s flashback to 2017 when I learned how to bake vegan recipes. It took me months to test the best combination of ingredients to achieve the perfect vegan cookie texture. Removing eggs from cookies is the most challenging part, as eggs are the crucial cookie dough ingredient that controls spreading, texture, and puffiness.
