Hey guys! Vegan cookies, my first VEGAN recipe on my blog! Of course I had to try recreate one of my most popular recipes on my blog. I wanted to make them taste as close to my usual recipe and I think I did a very good job! They are gooey, chewy and crispy and they taste unbelievable!
You only have to substitute 2 ingredients to make them exactly the same. Vegan butter and I used apple sauce instead of egg. I used smooth apple sauce but if you can only buy chunky you can just push it through a sieve. I also use my callebaut 55% chocolate chips which are vegan. They are dark chocolate but not too high in cocoa percentage so they work fantastic in this vegan cookies!

I chilled my cookie balls in the freezer for 1 hour beforehand to keep them from spreading too much and to keep some height on them. What’s handy about these vegan chocolate chip cookies is that you can keep them in your freezer in an airtight container and bake them as you want them. These cookies are delicious warm so the following day you can warm them up for about 20-30 seconds in the microwave.
If anyone has any Vegan requests just DM me and I will add it to the list. These cookies are also so handy if you want to bake something for someone who can’t eat dairy or eggs. They do not lack in flavour at all. They are super delicious!!
