I am obsessed with these vegan chocolate chip cookies! I thought for sure that using coconut oil would flatten these cookies right out, but I was dead wrong!
They stayed light, fluffy and chewy. Honestly, they have the most perfect texture. And the best part about vegan baking is being able to eat the cookie dough 😉
Ok I won’t bore you with anymore description of these cookies and get right to the recipe.
Plus, who even reads this intro part anyway?? 😉
I hope you enjoy!

Notes:
*If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can mix it by hand using a wooden spoon.
**If dough is too sticky, add more flour (it shouldn’t stick to your hands). If dough is too dry, add more milk (balls shouldn’t fall apart as you are rolling them.
