The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever

[@drewdriver1970]

9 mths. as a vegan here. This is the first chocolate chip recipe that turned out well for me. Thanks!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Andrew Brown That makes me so happy! I love this recipe. It's definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my channel.

Hi there! I'm a new subscriber. Just found your channel last night. Actually I sub to NO EGG CRAIG and also THE VEGAN ZOMBIE and they got together last night and did a live you tube video where they went to the various new vegan channels that didn't have a huge following to try and check them out or critique them a little to help those creators to gain more subs. And your channel was one of the ones they checked out. I didn't even hear what they were saying after they'd picked one of your videos to check out and I liked what I saw and went to open another tab on my laptop so I could subscribe to your channel. I've been vegan now almost a year. Not really counting the months anymore, it's just a lifestyle that "fits" me like a glove, feels like I always should have been vegan, ya know? Hard to explain. Anyhow I really like your down to earth no nonsense way of doing things. Your kitchen is beautiful and so efficient too. I have been trying to veganize some recipes with some funky results, lol. Am kinda busy right now, but am looking forward to getting more into your other videos in the next few days. Rock on, this is gonna be fun!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Teri Ruiz Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. I appreciate the feedback. I'm always trying to improve not only for my channel, but for my life as well.

[@hickszn]

Same about not liking a ton of chocolate chips. And ppl would always tell me just to eat sugar cookies as if they’re the same. They’re so not the same lol

[@MonsonMadeThis]

It's not the same at all!

[@nicolem5777]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've been Vegan for over a year now and I work for Trader Joe's! I haven't attempted to bake sweet treats cause I was hesitant about swap outs. You have a new subscriber 🙌

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Nicole Morgan Thanks! I love TJ's products. They really have made it easy.

[@lego65100]

Awesome idea for a sweet treat. Thanks so much for posting this video! I’m a brand-new vegan, trying to learn everything I can about feeding my family without meat or dairy. This cookie recipe looks amazing. Trying it tomorrow for movie night.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Welcome! I'm glad you found my channel. I try to make recipes that remind me of the foods I love. The cookies are amazing. I really do recommend making them a bit in advance. They need to hang out for a bit after coming out of the oven. They're delicious hot, but they are better once the coconut oil in them has cooled to room temp. Let me know how they turn out!

[@Eternal_Blue_Sun]

I'm a vegetarian for 13 years now, looking for more ways to add more vegan options in my life, I literally cannot wait to try these cookies!!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

They are so good! Let me know what you think if you do give them a try.

[@yomellamojulieta]

Hey, just found your channel, been vegan for about two years now, crazy into cooking, from Argentina. Keep it up, loved these cookies, they look amazing!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks for finding me! If you try them, let me know how they turn out for you.

[@dannikinso]

I thought I was the only one who didn't like a lot of chocolate chips! Looks great!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

maguita perez Honestly, I still prefer the cookie part. Nothing against chocolate... Thanks!

[@crwnofenlightenment]

@@MonsonMadeThis Same guys. I prefer more of the cookie that the chocolate. It's so freaking good. Think I'll go make a batch now lol!

[@jermaineparker1959]

Me too. I use maybe 1/3 of what the recipe calls for.

[@Rustypoptartt]

i made these last night and they are truly the best cookies i’ve ever had! i’m eating one right now and you were right, tastes better the second day

[@Rustypoptartt]

i’ve been vegan for 5 months and i’ve missed good cookies

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Yay! I'm so glad that you loved them. And thanks for taking the time to let me know!

[@SiccazHD]

Hi! I'm a new subscriber, and I am transitioning to being vegan from being a vegetarian for about a year. I would definitely learn more about new swapouts etc

[@shandamardo902]

Appreciate this channel been searching for these little tricks

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm glad you found us! Thanks!

[@kellybeechen2271]

I had no idea about vegan sugar. Thanks for the info! Great video!

[@gretchenelizzabeth7461]

Holy crap I just made these and they are the best! I subbed vegan butter for the coconut oil because I didn’t have any on hand and they did spread out a lot, but they taste amazing!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I love a thin cookie, so I would be ok with that. Glad you loved them! Thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know.

[@tiffanypham5513]

I just found your channel today. I’m not vegan, but find your videos so informative. I appreciate the time and effort you put into each video. I can’t believe you only have 4K followers!!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you for watching, Tiffany! Subscribers are trickling in, but I'm having a great time making content. As long as I'm having fun, I think my channel will continue to grow.

[@NYLeafy.V]

New subscriber Jan 1 2019 --- just made the cookies, and they are fantastic. Thank you !

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm so glad that you liked them. They are pretty magical, in my opinion.

[@CoffeeBeanWitch]

2018, just seen this and this recipe looks really good. As a life long vegan I shall be attempting to make this. Like the fact you mentioned swap-outs as new vegans may not be aware of alternatives.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you! It's still my favorite cookie recipe ever. I plan on doing a series about swap-outs; showing people how to read a recipe like a vegan. Let me know how your cookies turn out!

[@athenaluna84]

Such a well executed and thoughtful video. Thanks for your thorough explanation of the coconut oil needing time to set. I never really understood that before! Keep up the dope channel!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you for watching. Glad I could help. They are truly my favorite chocolate chip cookies.

[@syntheticsynapses6524]

This looks great! I'm going to be making these in the coming week! thanks for this :D

[@opass1959]

I tried these, they came out excellent!! Thank you!!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Yay!

[@tulasitree]

Thanks so much for this Monson. Can't wait to try these out. Have you ever made this recipe with earth balance instead of coconut oil? Also would love to see the recipes for those quick breads you mentioned ( zucchini bread!!!!).

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks for watching! I haven't used earth balance, but I bet it would turn out great. I might use a bit less salt since EB is already salted. Let me know how it turns out.

[@krystlebigelow3074]

Great video! Have you tried making these with any butter alternatives versus oil? I am curious if Miyoko Butter would work well in this recipe.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you. I have only tried it with coconut oil. I'm sure Miyoko's would be great. I just often use straight refined coconut oil instead of vegan butter because it's pretty much the same thing, in terms of the physical structure. You may need to adjust the salt a bit as well, since Miyoko's is already salted. Let me know how it turns out!

[@krystlebigelow3074]

@@MonsonMadeThis Made them this weekend with Miyoko's butter and they turned out amazing! Some people said they are better than non-vegan chocolate chip cookies :)

[@MonsonMadeThis]

@@krystlebigelow3074 Sounds like I need to try them with Miyoko's, then! Thanks for letting me know how they turned out! Sounds like you were a hit!

[@ashirafssegirinya5790]

I try out the recipe but the cookies remains as I scooped. They don't spread out to flatten what cold be the problem

[@tanjaroisch3900]

Great channel, I've just subscribed because you make it all simply and don't overcomplicate things. Thank you

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you for joining, and welcome! Any recipes that you would like to see veganized?

[@nijinokanata111]

These look fantastic! Aquarian’s is magic! Hope to impress my family at Christmas with these. Thanks!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you! Let me know how they turn out!

[@lala-ol5qs]

I tried these vegan cookies, and they tasted amazing. I also didn’t know that sugar can be vegan or that there was refined and unrefined coconut oil. I put a little more chocolate chips.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thanks for taking the time to comment, and I 'm so glad you liked the cookies! A lot of commercial white sugars are processed through "bone char" to get out impurities. I know at places like Sprouts, their white sugars actually say "vegan" on the label. You can do a quick Google to see which brands do or don't still use that method of processing. In terms of coconut oil, there are a few different types. Virgin means that it's the purest form, and it will have a coconut flavor. Refined means that it's been processed and "refined" so that it's just the oil, without much, if any, coconut flavor. There are even liquid ultra-refined ones that don't get solid at room temperature. Most days, I have both virgin and refined on hand for different purposes. If you had to buy just one, and you plan on using it in a variety of ways, go with refined to be safe.

[@thirdreplicator]

Use no-salt peanut butter instead of coconut oil, flax meal instead of aquafaba, yeast instead of baking soda (bitter!) and homemade date paste instead of refined sugar.

[@bolorbolori3997]

‍Hi, the red substance that you first poured into the bowl. What is it. In Iran we call this raisin sweet. If you say the ingredients, thank you.iam shirin

[@MonsonMadeThis]

The colors are a bit off in the video. The first think I added was brown sugar, which is just sugar with a lot of molasses in it. The other ingredient that appears redish is the vanilla extract. Here is the recipe with all of the ingredients listed: monsonmadethis.com/best-vegan-chocolate-chip-cookies-ever/

[@kirky9347]

The secret to chocolate chip cookies is how long you cook them. They should just be browned slightly and then you take them out. Then let them sit on the tray for a few minutes to set before you remove them. 👌🏼

[@MonsonMadeThis]

You're not wrong.

[@hollyklepfer6016]

I love your channel. All of your recipes I’ve tried have been great! Until this one... and I’m sure it’s ME and not YOU! But can you help? My cookies melted all over the cookie sheet and were a thin layer across it just a few minutes in. Here’s what I did differently than you. I used unrefined coconut oil (but I heard you say this was ok). I used almond flour instead of all purpose. I lightly sprayed canola oil on the cookie sheet to prevent burning. Any ideas? I’m definitely going to give these another try because I’m positive it’s my error somewhere.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I think it was the flour. Almond flour and AP flour are totally different beasts. You can't always just do a 1 to 1 swap with almond flour; it doesn't act the same as AP. Also, depending on how liquid your oil was, you might want to pop the cookies in the fridge for about 20 to 30 minutes before baking them. But my money is on the almond flour. You should be good with AP, or maybe even a 1 to 1 gluten free flour mix. If you want to try almond again, I would reduce the oil by half. The texture won't be the same, but I think you'll still get decent cookies.

[@hollyklepfer6016]

Monson Made This TY! I will try again in a few days! :)

[@rose8662]

This looks amazing and I can't wait to try the recipe! Would you recommend using melted coconut oil as opposed to solid? Thanks❣

[@rose8662]

By the way, did you ever make the savory poptart? I'd love to see that.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I think keeping it at room temperature mimics room temp butter. It melts, but having a bit of body helps the texture of the dough a bit.

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Rose Still working on it. But soon.

[@dutchgram3799]

I'm looking forward to making these. I almost grabbed chocolate chips at The grocery store two weeks in a row so now I have a plan. Yaahoo for me. Thank you

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Did you know that Costco sells a 4 pound bag of chocolate chips that just happens to be vegan? It's true. So, be careful. These cookies are so good that you'll be signing up for a membership just to keep yourself stocked.

[@lanatchenko]

Just made them. They were sooo good! Greetings from Belgium 🙂

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm so happy you loved them! And a returned greeting and thank you from Las Vegas!

[@johanneimmis5948]

This was a really awesome video! The cookies were delicious too

[@MonsonMadeThis]

I'm so happy that you enjoyed them. I also made a pumpkin cookie video a few months ago that uses the same recipe, but subs in pumpkin puree for the coconut oil. They are awesome!

[@Pamela-ro8vh]

Oh hi! So glad you started a channel.

[@TheTondalaya1]

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING HOW TO DO IT!...

[@MonsonMadeThis]

You're very welcome.

[@sig9girl]

Going in to my 9th yea,r living a vegan lifestyle. Why is it so hard to perfect the chocolate chip cookie? I have tried some nasty ass ones! lol! Well, I made your recipe last night. YUM!! I did the giant cookie size like you. OMG, they are so tasty, and just all around delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe!

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Congrats! There are some nasty ones out there. The trick is to make them not healthy at all. Oil, sugar, and chocolate is the key. And a pinch of salt. Haha. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@ljm9092]

Hi I am a new vegan and I do a lot of experimenting. your cookies look so wonderful. thank you for sharing. all ways looking for new stuff. :)

[@MonsonMadeThis]

Thank you. And congrats on the switch! You're going to love it. For me, the experimentation is one of the best parts. You have to figure out how to make what you've always made so you don't feel like you're missing out. I always suggest people start their vegan journey with veganizing their favorite recipes. If you need any help or suggestions, let me know. I'm also on Instagram, so you can message me there.
