These Vegan Chocolate Chocolate Cookies are a softer cookie, reminding me of the edge piece on a brownie. And goodness they are delicious!
Putting the vegan label there is immediately going to turn some people away, but here's the thing. Vegan Chocolate Cookies are dairy-free and egg-free for those who need it. They could easily be swapped for gluten free with a 1:1 flour.
You don't need to worry about having soft butter to beat with sugar, they use olive oil, and really, they're just a dang good cookie!

Thank you! I’m not vegan but I have an egg allergy. I love to use vegan recipes and then just use butter and regular milk in them. I’m pregnant and craving chocolate cookies so this is perfect timing!!
katehosie
Yes!! Enjoy
Amanda Mowery
Love this recipe! I have a diary issue as well as gluten and I was able to substitute a 1 for 1 GF flour mix and they were perfect!
Melinda
My family isn’t vegan, but we all enjoyed this recipe!
Nicole
These cookies are awesome! They remind me somewhat of brownies. Even if you aren't vegan, these cookies are a must try.
Sarah
These are delicious! I altered slightly for our food allergies so if you’re gluten, dairy, free nut, and egg free these are a fabulous option.
Kerri
My family isn’t vegan, but we enjoyed! I baked a tad too long I think but otherwise great! You had me at, “tastes like the edge piece of a brownie”!

My family isn’t vegan l, but we still enjoyed them! I think I baked them a tad too long but they were still great. You had me at, “tastes like the edge piece of a brownie”!
Melissa
These are great, a lot like a brownie. I made them with oat milk but I’m definitely intrigued by the coffee option!
Susanna
So so good, and versatile!! Loved swapping in white chocolate or peanut butter chips. We are not vegan and love making theses on the regular!
Dayle
I have made these cookies a few times now and they are delicious! I’m not vegan but have a gluten and dairy intolerance and they are one of the best gluten free cookies I have ever had!
Hope
Love these cookies! It’s nice to have a dairy free option that still tastes good. I’ve made them multiple times, once I added mini marshmallows when I didn’t have enough chocolate and my kids loved that. I even tried it with gluten free flour once and while it made them a little crumbly it was still delicious.
Mikaela
Can’t keep them in my cookie jar! Easy and great with a cup of hot tea after a long morning of work!

Oh my goodness! These are so yummy! I made these with my 15 year old and they are the best! We ate so many.
Erin
Made these tonight and they did not disappoint!
Julie
I made these with melted butter (instead of EVOO) and soured raw milk (instead of coffee). They were DELICIOUS. Highly recommended. Scooped with a cookie scoop and hid a dried cherry in each scoop. Yum.

I so LOVE this recipe I have a friend whose son has a lot of allergies. I am able to make these for him using the coffee and non dairy chocolate chips. The smile on his face was worth it all. Keep giving us these great recipes please.

Have made these cookies a couple times and they have been a hit! Next time I'm going to try making them Gluten free as well (and will report back :).
Piedad Martin
These cookies were SO easy to make and delicious! They were delicious warm but they also seem to be getting better each day.
Next time I will try making them with lighter olive oil (I found my extra virgin olive oil a bit overpowering) or perhaps coconut oil. THANK YOU!
Kaetlyn
these are AMAZING! i used organic palm shortening because i had some leftover from holiday baking, and i don't quite like the taste of olive oil. i bet coconut oil would work wonderfully as well! i decreased the sugar significantly, simply because i don't like things too sweet. i also used einkorn flour because i digest that better. the best part is the coffee! it gave them the most amazing flavor. i couldn't stop eating the dough too 🙂 next time i make these, i'm going to add craisins!
Emma
These are fantastic Kate! Absolutely love them. I'm dairy free and so is one of my son's, but my husband was the biggest fan in our family!
Jess
What a wonderful recipe! Definite crowd pleaser
Lison
Great cookies, made half a batch and ended up with 24 cookies (25g each).
Definitively a keeper

They are so good!
Jessica C
Every recipe in this website is spot on. This is a keeper in book! Will be making this often.
Kim
These are an awesome cookie especially if you’re a fan of the edge of the brownie. Super easy to make and easy to adapt for allergy needs (I can’t do eggs). And thank you Kate for writing a recipe that actually makes the amount of cookies e recipe says it will make! So many recipes seem to be way off.
