This is the best chewy chocolate chip cookies recipe that took some time to become great after many attempts before I finally got them right. I finally got them to come out of the oven, cool off and still stay soft and slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside! It was an amazing feeling. These cookies have just the right amount of chocolate chips in them to satisfy your chocolate craving as well.
It’s great that I have started this blog and posted this recipe because now my family can easily find it and make it themselves even though I will still enjoy making it for them. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Feel free to let me know how this recipe turned out for you in the comments below.

Recipe Tips:
1. To avoid your cookies coming out flat, be sure that your baking soda is not out of date. Baking soda has rising properties that may not react properly if you are using it out of date or don’t keep it in an air-tight container if not expired.
2. When creaming the butter and sugar make sure you are creaming them together for at least 4 minutes or until it looks like the picture above. This will also help your cookies rise correctly.
3. Parchment paper will help your cookies hold their shapes better during baking and will also make clean up a breeze.

December 16, 2021 at 2:49 PMHey thanks for this post!
I love baking! I’m definitely going to bookmark this! It is simple and vegan too, that means I can finally share some with my friend who only eats vegan food.
I have most of the ingredients except one or two but I’ll just run to the shop and grab some! Can’t wait to try these and here them! They do look tasty!
December 16, 2021 at 7:28 PMHey Sariyah!
You’re welcome! Thanks for stopping by, enjoy!
December 16, 2021 at 9:07 PMThanks for your chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m on keto and I recently made chewy chocolate chip cookies. My recipe was almost the same as yours, but my secret ingredient to making the cookies chewy is – ready? Beef gelatin powder. Yup! Also, I used almond flour instead of regular flour. And instead of regular sugar, I used Lakanto monkfruit. I think I’ll try your recipe though and serve it to my non-keto friends. Oh, and the chocolate chips I used were from Lilys.
December 20, 2021 at 11:52 PMYou’re welcome, Shalisha! I have never thought of using gelatin powder, that’s great. I will have to find a vegan one and try that recipe out. Thanks for stopping by, enjoy!
December 28, 2021 at 6:06 PMThese sound delicious! I am a fan of the traditional recipes and have a hard time deviating from them, but every now and then I will get adventurous and try recipes that are vegan. These will be added to my list of “to-do” recipes, after teh holidays are over! Thanks for sharing!

These are very delicious. That’s great, thanks for stopping by. Enjoy!
December 30, 2021 at 3:23 PMAfter reading your recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies, I now want to try them. I am not very well versed in vegan foods but this one caught my attention. I do wonder though if it would be possible to use rice flour in place of all purpose flour? Would it be possible to use honey instead of sugar? I use honey in most of my recipes since you have to use less and it helps me with certain dietary requirements.
I found the recipe to be very easy to follow. The step-by-step directions were spot on and very helpful. Do you blend the brown sugar and cane sugar together before adding it to the recipe or just put it all in at the same time? I have printed this recipe out of use later this week. Great recipe.

Yes, you try any flour or sweetener that you like. I have not tried rice flour or honey so I’m not sure how it will come out but can’t hurt to try it and see.
I’m glad my recipe was easy to follow for you. Yes, I blended the sugar and butter together before adding it to the other ingredients. That’s awesome, feel free to let me know how it turned out for you.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!
January 2, 2022 at 11:52 PMHello and thank you for the lovely post. I’ve become more interested in baking in the last few years than I ever have before. I am not a vegan, but I enjoy eating healthily. Having said that, I also enjoy chocolate chip cookies. They are, however, always unhealthy, and I prefer something healthier, even if vegan. I’m going to look into making this. Thank you for the recipe.
January 4, 2022 at 10:28 PMYou’re welcome, Kiersti!
I love baking as well, especially chocolate chip cookies. Enjoy!
January 6, 2022 at 1:43 AMIn my experience, the best ingredients are the most mutable. That said, I love cookies when they are hard on the outside and chewy on the inside. Nuance amplifies the food experience and creates a more pleasant sensation and taste. Finding the balance isn’t an easy task and requires considerable skill. Yet, I think it is easy to make the best chewy chocolate chip cookies when you aren’t trying — enjoy the process and unwind.
I bookmarked your page and will come back to the site. I love the simplicity and profundity of your recipe. Thank you!!
January 7, 2022 at 1:28 AMI agree, glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thanks for stopping by!
