Being vegan doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy an ooey-gooey cookie ever again! While most cookie recipes call for eggs and milk, you can easily substitute those ingredients to make it vegan. I’ve rounded up some of the best vegan cookie recipes that I think you’ll love. From soft and chewy to ooey gooey, everyone will find a vegan cookie recipe (or 15) that they’ll love.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delicious cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Plus, they are also gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, making them very allergy-friendly. They are one of the best vegan and gluten-free cookies ever!

Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies

Double chocolate cookies come with some standard expectations. Deep cocoa color, molten pockets of chopped dark chocolate, crisp edges that yield to a soft, chewy center, and a richness that feels almost too good for a weekday bake. This vegan cookie recipe retains all that indulgence but without dairy or eggs.
