    How to make Coconut Oil Vegan Chocolate chip cookies

    • Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a medium bowl, combine slightly melted virgin coconut oil with white and brown sugars.
    • Whisk mixture until smooth and slightly foamy, about 1-2 minutes.
    • Add almond milk and vanilla extract, whisking until well incorporated.
    • Mix in dry ingredients (flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt) until smooth.
    • Gently fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
    • Using an ice cream scoop or hands, shape the dough into balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spacing them well.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cookies will be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
    • Allow cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tips for this recipe

    • Room Temperature Coconut Oil: Ensure your coconut oil is at room temperature, but not completely melted, for easier mixing and better texture in the cookies.
    • Use White and Brown Sugar: A combination of white granulated sugar and dark brown sugar adds sweetness, moisture, and a hint of caramel flavor to the cookies.
    • Choose Vegan Chocolate Chips: Look for vegan chocolate chips that are dairy-free and contain no animal products. Many brands offer delicious options made with cocoa solids and plant-based fats.
    • Chill the Dough: After mixing the ingredients, chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps solidify the coconut oil and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
    • Cool on the Baking Sheet: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.
    • Reshape the cookies: Use a larger cookie cutter and rotate it around the cookies right after they come out of the oven to reshape them into perfect rounds.

    Storage instructions

    At room temperature: As with all cookie recipes, place them in a covered storage box and they will keep their freshness and softness for about 1 week

    Freeze: Yes and you can keep them for a long time! For this type of conservation, you have two methods

    Variations & Substitutions

    • Nut Butter Cookies: Add a creamy richness by incorporating almond butter, peanut butter, or cashew butter into the cookie dough for extra flavor and protein.
    • Coffee Cookies: Add instant coffee powder or espresso powder for a rich coffee flavor, just like these espresso chocolate chip cookies.
    • Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies: Add shredded coconut to the dough for a tropical twist that pairs perfectly with the chocolate chips.
    • Double Chocolate Chip Cookies: Add cocoa powder or use dark chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey experience like these double chocolate chip cookies.
    • Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: Swap out some of the flour for rolled oats and add raisins instead of chocolate chips for a classic oatmeal raisin cookie with a vegan twist.
