On Friday, I posted this little teaser on my OSG Facebook wall…

Then you begged and pleaded for the recipe and I left you in agony for 6 days while I was busy dipping these cookies in almond milk and slathering crusty, day-old bread with roasted tomato pesto.
I don’t consider myself to be a mean person, but after reading that I guess I am pretty twisted and cruel!
May I repay you in cookies, perhaps?

Yield

Prep time
Rest time
5 minutes
Cook time
Total time
Ingredients
- 7 tbsp vegan butter + 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or 1/2 cup vegan butter)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cane sugar (or use white)
- 1 flax egg: (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the flax egg and set aside.
- With an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat the Earth Balance until fluffy. Add the brown sugar and cane sugar and beat for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Beat in the flax egg.
- Beat in the remaining ingredients and fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape balls of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes (or up to 14 mins on a Silpat mat). Allow to cool for 5 mins. on the baking sheet and then transfer to a cooling rack for another 10 minutes.
Tip:
- For a crispier cookie edge, use 7 tbsp Earth Balance and 1 tbsp olive oil. I preferred cooking them this way. They also spread out a bit more. Alternatively, for a softer cookie, use 1/2 cup Earth Balance and no oil.
- To retain the crispy factor of the cookies place them in the freezer after cooling in a container or baggie. It was the only method I tried that kept the crispiness of the cookies! Simply thaw on the countertop.

The dough tasted so amazing I almost considered not baking the cookies!

These are definitely the best vegan chocolate chip cookies I’ve made on the blog. They are chewy with a lightly crisped outer crust and they are quick to throw together.

As I typed this post Eric leaned over my shoulder and said, “First, you torture your friends on Facebook and now you torture me because we have none left!”

And then he looked at this picture below and said, “Whoa, creeper hand.”

You see what I have to deal with? ;)

Have a great Wednesday Thursday!
Those look AMAZING!!! I definitely could use a cookie right now!
yumm! These look awesome Angela! Thanks!
Chocolate chip cookies are definitely the tried-and-true classic, favorite dessert. I don’t think I’ve met a single person that says they dont like them! I’m always looking for new really awesome vegan versions, this will be added to the list of recipes to try :-)
These sound delicious! And look super easy to make, which is awesome, because when the urge for cookies strikes it’s like I need cookies RIGHT. THAT. SECOND!
Creeper hand! :D
I so have to make these!
Beautiful recipe, beautiful photography.
I love how you got the milk to balance on the wire rack. I would have been scared it would tip over and spill all over my precious & perfect stack of cookies!
And also the hand/dunking shot. Brave. :)
Chewy. My ears perked up. Vegan cookies tend to be cakey & not chewy, and I adore molasses. I’m totally sold!
Yo have me drooling yet again!

holy yum :D
These would have never made it into the oven with me!
Mmm you can never go wrong with a classic like chocolate chip cookies!
