Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies are always a favorite and these handfuls are no less desirable. An easy soft chocolate chip cookie recipe that the kids can help make too. Big and chewy and chocolaty and vegan. How fun is that!





The basis for this recipe is an old one from my mom. I just tweaked it a little to make it a bit more healthful.

A hand mixer helps the batter become light and fluffy. If you use a cookie scoop it will be easy to get large even dough balls.

Your hands will still be spotless and the cookie sheets will be full. Mmmmm, sweetness is on its way.

The Low Down on Chocolate Chips

Chocolate chips or chocolate morsels, as some companies say, have not always been easy to find for vegans.

It has become much easier lately and I think you can find vegan chips in every major grocery store now.

If you can believe it, there are even molds if you'd like to go that way and make your own chocolate chips.

Either way, this vegan easy chocolate chip cookie recipe is to die for.

Facts about Chocolate Chips and then on to Vegan Chocolate Chips

For many years you could only find semi-sweet chocolate chips which were ALL made with milk chocolate meaning - not vegan.

Then more and more varieties were starting to be made such as bittersweet and dark chocolate chips. Some were accidentally vegan and some were not.

A very few years ago specific companies started making vegan chocolate chips purposefully vegan. Enjoy Life started showing up in grocery stores everywhere.

They all tasted just like semi-sweet chocolate chips. There just wasn't any milk in them.

Now we can buy quite a few in all depths chocolate richness although sometimes we need to go to the internet.

Baker's Tips

These cookies are light in color so don't be tempted to cook longer or this won't be a soft chocolate chip cookie recipe. They'll get hard.

You can use all coconut sugar if you'd like to cut out the refined sugar. Add a couple more tablespoons of coconut sugar though.

You may use all all-purpose flour or all whole wheat flour. They will be a bit heavier with all whole wheat flour though.

If some of your family likes chewy chocolate chip cookies a little trick is to put them in the refrigerator. It hardens some of the ingredients and maked them chewier.

I added extra baking soda and baking powder to the recipe even though all-purpose flour is being used. The reason is because of the whole wheat flour.

I wanted to give the mix a little in the rising department when baking.

You can use any egg substitute that you like. I almost always use chia seed meal or flaxseed meal in baking. They both add a lot of protein per tablespoon.

You can even make your cookies bigger than mine. Just make sure you don't go too thick so that they can cook.

Mine are probably as thick as you should go.
