Rich and chocolatey Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies are irresistible. Cocoa powder and chocolate chips or chunks come together to make a decadent chocolate vegan cookie that’s ooey, gooey and melty. These plant based cookies have a lovely, brownie-like texture, dairy-free and can be made gluten-free.

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup vegan butter or coconut oil, softened
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed soaked in 3 tbsp of water
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips or chocolate chunks
  • Salt flakes for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line one cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a small bowl mix 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed and 3 tbsp of lukewarm water. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a bowl of an electric mixer, add brown sugar, regular sugar, and butter. Whisk together until light and fluffy. To the whipped butter/sugars mixture, add flaxseed mixture, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk to incorporate. Add whisked dry ingredients and mix with a spatula to incorporate. Add chocolate chips.
  • Divide the cookie dough into 10 even portions. Give them in a round shape and place them onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper about 1.5-2” apart. Press on top additional chocolate chips so when the cookies are baked, they all have nice chocolate chunks on top. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool on the wire rack, then transfer onto the serving dish. Sprinkle with flaky salt on top as a garnish.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients carefully. Gently spoon flour into your measuring cup rather than scooping. 
  • Don’t rush the flax egg. Give it time to develop an egg-like texture. 
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure evenly sized cookies. 
  • The cookie dough texture may be firmer and drier than you expect. 
  • Space each cookie because they will spread when baking.
  • Bake cookies in the center of your oven.
  • Remove the cookies from the oven before they are completely done, as they will continue to cook as they cool. 
  • Overbaking can make these cookies hard. 
  • If baking more than one batch of cookies, bake one pan at a time.
