Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have made it my personal mission to recreate healthy, cruelty-free versions of my all-time favorite recipes. Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? They’re quick and easy to make on those nights when you just need a treat!

These cookies are made with oat flour, which makes them gluten free, so even more of your friends can enjoy them. I chose coconut sugar for this recipe because it is quite similar to brown sugar, and has a rich flavor, without the high glycemic index. They’re a great dessert to take to a party due to the fact that most dietary restrictions will allow. If coconuts are a problem, you can always try other delicious flour and sugar options. When I serve these cookies at a get together, I always end up bringing home and empty plate–people love them!

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Oat Flour
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • Dash of Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Tsp Cardamom
  • 1/2 Cup Vegan Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1/4 Cup Vegan Butter, softened (any oil will work)
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla (or choice flavoring)
  • 1 Squirt Lime/Lemon Juice

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  • Mix all dry ingredients together in mixing bowl
  • Combine wet ingredients to dry, slowly adding water to achieve desired consistency. It should resemble cookie dough and form into balls. Add more oat flour or water if needed.
  • Place cookie dough balls about one inch apart on a (vegan) greased cookie sheet.
  • Put cookies in oven for approximately 10-15 minutes, cook times will vary depending on your oven, check at 10 minutes.
  • Remove cookies from oven, let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Don’t have time to bake? Due to this recipe’s vegan nature, you can even whip up a batch of edible cookie dough without the worry because it’s okay to eat raw!  Just prepare all of the ingredients, pop in the freezer for about an hour, and indulge!
