No vegan butter is required for these mouthwatering chocolate cookies, instead they are made with coconut oil! I used to think that cookies made with coconut oil were inferior, but it turns out I just needed to keep testing. There are a few tricks that make these cookies unbelievably thick, soft and chewy and they taste nothing like coconut. While I still love to make my Perfect Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, this recipe rivals that one quite well and they are much easier to make! You don’t need a mixer, you don’t have to prepare flax eggs and they are made in 1 bowl with simple ingredients.

Tips & Substitutions

Use refined coconut oil for no coconut taste! If you don’t mind the taste of coconut, you can use unrefined. Melt the coconut oil. I try to estimate the amount of solid coconut oil I need, and microwave it in a glass pyrex measuring cup until melted. Then measure and make sure you have 2/3 cup exactly. You can substitute melted vegan butter OR canola oil if desired. They work just as well. May sub another non-dairy milk for soy milk. Gluten free flour may work okay, but I haven’t tested it. Use an all purpose gluten free flour for best results.
