Cranberry Cookies
Dried cranberries and chopped pistachios add festive flair to these chewy chocolate chip cookies.

This recipe calls for part oat flour and part all-purpose. The combination is both wholesome and delicious, as the oat flour gives the cookies an amazing soft texture.

No peanut butter? No problem. Just like my peanut butter cookies, these almond butter cookies are nutty, salty, and sweet.

Vegan Cookie Recipes: Chocolate Chip Vegan Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- â…“ cup tahini*, see note
- 6 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 heaping cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, coconut oil, tahini, water, and vanilla until smooth.
- Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and use a spatula to combine. Fold in the chocolate chips. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheets. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes.
I try recipes all the time and never leave comments, but these were so good and there are so few reviews that I wanted to! These are the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve had since going vegan in 2012. The tahini gives them a richness that reminded me of the butter-filled Hershey’s recipe that my mom always used. I missed the note about leaving the dough in the fridge if it was thin. Mine was thin because I had really liquidy tahini. Next time, I will refrigerate the dough to get more compact cookies. They still tasted perfect. I will make them regularly.
Oh, I just realized I haven’t posted on the main page – I’m talking about the Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies!
The Chocolate Chip Vegan Cookies are hands down the best recipe I’ve used in 40 years of baking. Perfect balance for chewy middle and slightly crunchy outside.
The finished batter was initially dry, so I added more water, vanilla, and coconut oil to give it a thoroughly moist consistency. I attribute this to perhaps adding more flour than the recipe called for. The recipe is excellent!
I’m so glad you loved them!
