Make soft, chewy, bakery-style vegan chocolate chip cookies quickly with this easy, one-bowl recipe that requires no chilling time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the applesauce and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the vegan chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For thicker cookies, slightly underbake them. They will firm up as they cool.
  • Use room temperature vegan butter for the best creaming results.
  • If you prefer a gooey center, use a mix of semi-sweet and dark chocolate chips.
