The richest, fudgiest cookies you'll ever make! These one-bowl vegan double chocolate cookies have a chocolate cookie base and are loaded with chocolate chunks.
If you're looking for crunchy, crispy cookies, keep on looking! These vegan double chocolate cookies are so soft and chewy, they're almost like fudgy brownie cookies. They have a similar base to my peppermint chocolate cookies, but are even more chocolatey. Before baking, top these cookies off with some more chocolate chunks and give them a generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt right when you pull them out of the oven.
While you can absolutely enjoy these cookies on their own, they would also pair exceptionally well with a glass of milk or a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. These are the ultimate cookies for future midnight cravings. With such a quick prep and bake time, you can have these cookies in your stomach in under 15 minutes... assuming your oven pre-heats that fast!
These double chocolate cookies are:
Extra rich + fudgy
So soft + chewy
Loaded with chocolatey goodness
Sweet + salty
Vegan
A one bowl recipe
Tips for making the best chocolate cookies:
Use alkalized cocoa powder. If you recall from my vegan olive oil cake, alkalized cocoa powder is necessary to active the baking soda. You'll want to look for either Dutch Processed cocoa powder or any cocoa powder that has 'alkaline' listed as an ingredient.
Soften the coconut oil, don't melt it. For this recipe, we want to use softened coconut oil. Usually if your kitchen is really hot or it's a summer month, the coconut oil will be softed anyways. If it's not, you can microwave it for about 15 seconds.
Use quality chocolate. Your chocolate cookies will only be as good as the quality of chocolate used. For these cookies, I used Lily's sweetened dark chocolate baking bars.
Don't overbake them. These cookies will be really soft and delicate when you pull them from the oven, but will harden over time. If you can, let them cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the baking sheet.
Scoot the cookies after baking. Whenever you have a cookie with chocolate chips it can be hard to perfectly shape them. I like to "scoot" the cookies after baking to make them rounder.
