How to make vegan chocolate chip cookies?

To make this recipe you’ll want to start with beating the butter and sugars together until the sugar dissolves. Skipping this step may cause your cookies to taste grainy.

How to store chocolate chip cookies?

My family and friends devour the cookies almost as soon as they come out of the oven. But if you’re lucky enough to have some left then it’s important to store them so they don’t go bad. You can store these in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long).

Can you make these ahead of time?

Something I love is to have cookie dough ready just in case I or a family member is in the mood for a warm out of the oven cookie, or if we have company. You can make a batch and freeze the dough.

I like to store them in a few different ways.

  • In a tube shape wrapped in parchment so I can easily cut a few off and bake them
  • In balls in a freezer-safe container

Buying cookie dough at the store is so expensive and you don’t need to make the entire batch. Make a third or half and then freeze the rest!

Are chocolate chips vegan?

Not all chocolate chips are vegan. You will need to read the ingredients to make sure there isn’t any milk added. They are, however, becoming more and more common to find.

Look for allergin-friendly chocolate chips, dairy-free chocolate chips, and semi-sweet.

Where can I buy vegan chocolate?

Most grocery stores sell vegan chocolate. Look for dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, and allergy-friendly chocolate.

    The picture of these chocolate chip cookies looks absolutely delicious. I have never seen vegan butter before, but I am eager to find that too. Anyway, I am super eager to try this cookie recipe because nobody here has ever turned down a chocolate Chip cookie. Thank you for the recipe. Hope your summer is going well too.

      You should be able to find vegan butter at any grocery store now. Earth balance is my favorite brand and Countrycrock has recently come out with vegan butter sticks too! I hope you enjoy this cookie recipe!
