Ingredients
-
⅔ cup (147 g)brown sugar, packed
-
¼ cup (60 mL)unsweetened soy milk
-
-
1 tsp (5 g)baking powder
-
¾ tspbaking soda
-
½ tspsalt
-
2 cups (276 g)all-purpose flour
-
Directions
- Line a baking tray and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)*.
- In a large bowl, cream together the coconut oil and brown sugar with a fork**.
- Then add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. The mixture might look a bit clumpy, and that's okay.
- Sift the flour into the bowl and stir until partially combined.
- Lastly, fold the chopped chocolate through the dough. Be careful to not over-mix.
- Scoop up 1 Tbsp of the dough at a time, and roll them into balls. Place on the baking tray about 2 inches (5 cm) apart as the cookies will spread.
- To decorate, add a few bits of chopped chocolate to the top of each cookie if desired.
- Bake on the centre rack of the oven for 12 - 13 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let them set on the baking tray for a minute before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- †Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts.
- * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection).
- ** The coconut oil needs to be solid for this recipe, and not melted. If the oil is soft, place it in the fridge until hardened.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.

It always works and tastes amazing ❤️
Delish!!! These taste like regular cream and butter chocolate chip cookies! You’d never know if you didn’t make them!
Absolutely delicious…
Delicious Cookies
Love this recipe and have made them a few times with my toddler. Is there any option to reduce the amount of sugar? Less brown sugar or not using maple syrup? I feel is okay for me but too much for my toddler
I love this recipe and make it all the time but the last few times my cookies haven’t spread. Making them turn out more like a mix of a cookie and a scone. I’m wondering what could be affecting it?
I was looking for a quick cookie recipe... now I am blown away!
These taste amazing, and are officially my go-to recipe.😋😋
My most favourite Cookie recipe 🥰🥰🥰
This is insanely good! These cookies taste like those amazing unhealthy cookies but instead it's guilt-free :D
What is equivalent to all purpose flour in the UK?
Such a great and quick recipe! Made these while baby was napping 😁 I had to use vegan butter since I was out of coconut oil and only had 100 g of chocolate but the recipe still worked well and the cookies turned out so delicious. Will definitely make these again!
We made it with my 3 yo and very much enjoyed the process and eating them afterwards. Got to test different sizes in the same batch and they all turned out great, the more raw ones and the more crispy ;) perks of parenthood.
It’s delicious . I made it with my 22 months old daughter and she took two of them before cook 🫠 it was so much fun to make it 🫠
My absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies, yummmmmm!!
Used up remaining 80g of chocolate + reduced sugar to 120g. The sweetness was just nice for the kids. I’d even reduce the sugar to 100g next time and continue keeping 80g chocolate. Lovely texture; the whole family loves these cookies!
These cookies are really delicious! I always make them for parties and people are loving them.
Instead of Coconut Oil, I use room temperature vegan butter.
Greetings from Germany
Really easy to make. Everyone in my 'fussy' family really liked them. A win!
SO GOOD!
1. These were so quick and easy to make.
2. The bake time is minimal.
3. They have almost a bread or cake like consistency which is my favorite.
My batch seemed significantly more crumbly than what was shown, so I added a splash or two extra of milk and that seemed to help. I do think I over mixed, which is not unusual for me, so they’re a touch dense but again that’s my fault. I did also noticed as they cooled they got harder. So fresh out of the oven they’re soft and perfect. After cooling they’re hard, but some people might like that. My suggestion is eat as many as possible as soon as you pull them out of the oven. No one will judge you.
Quite good. Mine also didn't spread too much. A bit too sweet for me. Oh, I did swap with cow milk. 🥛🍫🍪🥥
Tried baking these cookies this week and they turned out amazing! Thank you for the simple instructions PUL team, I enjoyed these cookies with a nice warm cup of tea in the evening ❤️
Crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. This is simply the perfect chocolate chip cookie!
Wow! These cookies are just amazing. Taste delicious, super crunchy, and smell amazing! Can't wait to give them to friends and family. Definitely going to make them several times!
these turned out even more perfect than the photos! so soft and chewy and delicious. they did cook in 8 mins rather than the 12 suggested so keep an eye on them (although my oven may have just been too hot)
They were perfect. Thank you 🤩
Turned out great! Made my house smell amazing and they looked like they were fresh from a bakery 🍪 💕
I love this recipe so much I think I know it by heart. I love adding frozen cranberries and a bit of orange juice for a holiday twist!
so easy to make and it tastes heavenly!
I’m not vegan but I’ve been trying to implement more plant based recipes in my diet and thought I’d give the dessert recipes a try too! Loved how this one turned out. Quick, easy, and a crowd pleaser. Also saves me money on eggs and butter 😀
good
it is good.
fbh
it is good.
Super delicious and easy to make. I didn't expect them to spread quite so much in the oven so will bake in 2 separate trays next time!
I love these cookies 🍪 😍 they give me sooo much joy especially during period days 😅
I’ve made these cookies several times and they are fantastic! I love the subtle flavor the coconut oil imparts. So delicious!
Very easy to make and enjoyed by everyone! Even picky kids ;)
Such a easy go to!
They were so easy to make and really yummy. They just didn't spread out a lot and were still kind of dome shaped when I took them out of the oven. Still delicious and nice texture.
Could it be because I used the fan setting or normal sugar instead of brown sugar?
Indeed best cookie ever!! I’m so grateful for it! Thank you!! Tomorrow it lands in kids’ lunchbox
Best vegan cookie recipe I've done! I've made them gluten free, and it's the second I'm making them in a week.
Super delicious!!! Ate them right off the pan while they were still warm. Had to make a second batch!
The comments section on the app is so helpful. I'm coeliac so it was really helpful to see someone had subbed the flour for oats. I put 276g of gluten free oats in my food processor and pulsed a few times to make flour. I otherwise followed the recipe exactly and they came out great. Now to stop myself eating them all!
My mother in law made these for our Christmas breakfast and they were AMAZING!!! Sooooo soft and with just a perfect amount of chocolate 🤤 I ate like 5 of them in one sitting 🤫
Any recommendations for adding protein powder to any of your cookie recipes? If I wanted to put in 2 scoops of protein powder, would I just take out that 2 scoop equivalent of flour? Thanks!
I looovee this recipe for so long! Made for so many especial ocasion! Everybody looves it! there is no mistake with this one!! even when it goes a little wrong! hahaha
Today I will be doing with my nephews for cristhimas! will be lovelyy!
I did not have any coconut oil, so I swapped it for the same amount of peanut butter and they turned out so yummy! I never seem to be able to make cookies that thin out in the oven, so I had to squash them a little and they turned out a bit chunckier but so soft and delicious nonetheless!!
Fantastic!
I’ve never successfully made chocolate chip cookies. Now I made two amazing batches in one weekend!
I made these for a friend's anniversary and she was delighted and couldn't stop eating them. Easy and reliable recipe ❤️
So easy to make, and so satisfying to eat! Perfect recipe for a sweet craving on a lazy day.
The family loved these! I did add a few more splashes of plant milk.
Omg they’re delicious! I could not stop myself from eating the raw cookie dough 😅 however i must have done something wrong as all the cookies melted into one big one (even if I separated them — if anyone has any idea why this could be let me know!) Still delicious!
THE best cookies I have ever had! My 9y-o loved making these 😍
These are AMAZING! I used gluten-free 1-1 flour and my batter looked a bit too dry, so I doubled the milk content. Even with that the mixture looked too dry but the cookies tuned out fine, held their structure well, and the taste is phenomenal!
Awesome recipe! Today I change chocolate chips into oatmeal and raisins. Tastes totally delicious! One reminder to all vegans who want to make this cookies- DO NOT OVER MIX YOUR DOUGH. Simply use spoon to gently mix it. The dough may look a few flour remain but it’s totally fine.
I made them with whole wheat flour and these are the bomb!!
Super tasty recipe!!😎
i adore this app more than i can express
I have a question : if the oil isn’t solidified how much do I need?
So easy to make and super yumm
So delicious! I have tried so many vegan cookie recipes and this one takes the cake.
Made these tonight and they were sooo good. Classic chocolate chip recipe! Love these!
These are easy to make, yummy and soft, with just the right amount of sweetness. The dark chocolate perfectly balances out the sugar and maple syrup. Mine didn’t flatten as much as the recipes did, perhaps my flour-coconut oil ratio was slightly off, but they were still delicious and will definitely be made again 😌
Can I replace the oil with applesauce?
These were SO yummy! I’ve tried so many vegan cookie recipes and this was by far the best. I read the reviews and swapped out coconut oil for butter as I didn’t have coconut oil. The cookies didn’t spread as much because I used chilled butter so in my second batch I pressed it down with my fingers before baking. My weighing scale also ran out of battery as I was halfway through my sugar measurement, so I took it as a happy mistake and probably used ~80g of sugar. They were still sweet enough and didn’t need more sugar. 10/10!
I can't say how many times I have made this recipe, and how many times it's turned out delicious! I make these all the time, and my family LOVES them! It's really important to make sure your coconut oil is at the correct solidity, but otherwise these are the most easy, tasty and healthy chocolate chip cookies I've EVER found!
Thank you Pick Up Limes!
This is so easy and quick to make, definitely satisfied my sweet cravings. I find the cookies to be a little too sweet for my taste so I might reduce the sugar next time, but overall amazing recipe
I made them but the butter melted in the oven :(. I did cut them in shape and they were fine though. Do you think you could give us alternatives for a gluten-free recipe?
So so easy and sooo good!
I didn’t have any choc chips so added some cocoa powder instead and still turned out great!
Thanks for posting such a great recipe!
Very easy to make and taste WOWWW
Perfect quick Sunday evening snack 😍
I didn’t have all ingredients at home so replaced coconut oil with sunflower oil and used spelt flour. Cookies turned out great.
Used the exact ingredients, measurements and instructions, but the cookies did not spread and what’s more sad did not turn out very well 😔
Made these tonight for my family as a little treat. They absolutely loved them. It was such an easy recipe to whip up and it didn’t take long. Will definitely make agin.
Mmmm!! Crowd pleasers that you can whip up in less than 30 minutes?! Yes please!
Made these as instructed and also made them 1:1 with oat flour. I REALLY enjoyed the texture of the oat flour in this recipe.
The dough seemed a bit dry for me so I just added a tiny bit more oil and it was perfect!! I’ve heard that more dry environments can cause this & it’s dry here right now!
These are so delicious! My 6 year old son loved them too, will definitely be my go-to cookie recipe from now on :)
I just made this with my 6 year old brother and it was so easy and fun to bake! This is always my go-to cookie recipe and never disappoints 🤍
Absolutely delicious! I used vegan butter, coconut sugar, and GF flour and it worked splendidly! This recipe will definitely be on repeat. Thank you so much!
...and I'm back ;)
The cookies are delicious, I love the one-bowl concept!
I reduced the brown sugar to 120g and also used spelt flour.
Will definitely be back for more recipes!
Hey Sadia & the PUL team,
The cookies look delicious. Thx for aharing the recipe.
I am planning to bake this for my nephew who has some food allergies. Quick questions:
1. Can we replace APF with almond or coconut flour?
2. Can we replace refined coconut oil with vegan butter?
3. Can brown sugar be replaced with organic stevia leaf powder?
Thx a ton!
My cookies didn't spread and were quite hard. Still tasted good though. But can you suggest what my error was that made them come out hard? The only adjustment I made was to leave out the maple syrup, which I didn't have.
Thanks for your help.
HEY Sadia & PUL team,
I am just wondering about the absence of an acid in this recipe, despite the use of both baking powder & baking soda. Perhaps you can break it down for me, please? :)
In fact, I scaled up this recipe a little and froze the cookies for future use (ended up using 1 1/4 tsp baking powder + 1 tsp baking soda). Tried baking them from frozen at 165C for 14-ish minutes and the cookies did not really spread much & had a slightly metallic aftertaste. Still delicious though!
Is it very likely that I have overmixed the batter in the beginning OR even overbaked? :(((
Thank you in advance for any tips/feedback.
So good and easy! Highly recommend! I made this following the “make along” feature on the app and it was so helpful xx
I hadn’t planned on making these today, but so glad I did! No weird ingredients, very easy and quick to make, and soooo delicious. Tip: try one when they’re still warm, about 5 min after they come out of the oven. You will not regret it! 😍
This is yum. I tried it. And I loved it.
Amazinggggg! I ran out of coconut oil, so I ended up using half coconut oil, half vegan butter and used agave instead of maple syrup. Also made them in the airfryer. My room mates (not vegan) are crazy about them! I made them to eat during the week, but I'm afraid they won't last long... Thank you for sharing your recipes and amazing health advices, your content makes my life easier and more balanced. Keep up the good work!
Lot's of love and appreciation from Vila Real, Portugal!
These are amazing! Mine were actually a little crispy around the edges, which I love! I will definitely be making these again!
These are soooo good! Mine came out not as brown as the ones in your photo and a tad fluffier but I loved it. They tasted like the chewy chips ahoy without the chemical aftertaste. Soooooo good thank you for sharing this recipe! Perfect to enjoy on this snowy day <3
Delicious and super easy cookie recipe!! I used vegetable oil instead of coconut oil and baked these for 15 minutes. They still weren't as browned as the website photos, but were very tasty nonetheless and I can't wait to try more recipes on here!
Oh my goodness I can't even describe how AMAZING these cookies are! Not only are they super easy to make, but they are literally the cookies of my dreams - so soft and chocolatey and they almost melt in your mouth! I swapped the coconut oil for vegan butter and it still works great. Will definitely be making these again :)
Love them, they are so quick and easy to make yet addictive. Though you can easily use half the sugar and it's still very sweet.
Delicious! I didn't have vanilla extract so I added more maplesyrup instead!
The flavour being so strong reminded me of pancakes so I tell my friends they are pancake cookies :p
I also used almondflour instead which make them.. a bit more healthier! haha.
Very easy to make and super delicious
This recipe is my go to recently
My 6 years old nephew loved making these cookies with me, and they turned out delicious!
I liked that they’re soft and easy to make. Definitely new for me to se a dough looking like that (in the step before adding the flour) I definitely thought I had done something wrong. But then I saw the video on YouTube and that reassured me
Amazing cookies!!! I am lactose intolerant and it was so good to enjoy delicious chocolate chip cookies! Can the dough be frozen? And if yes, how long will it keep in the freezer?

My go to cookie recipe! The best I've ever found, thank you!!!
I overestimated the power of these cookies.. and I ended up with having a couple of huge ones instead of around 20 small ones! :) The taste is however super nice, so next time I will just make sure to give those guys some more room to grow.
Thank you for the recipe!
Every time i make these cookies my family goes crazy, they're so delicious, tasty and healthy! Thank you so so much for this recipe x
Thank you so much, Sadia & Team!! I have been a Pickuplimes for years and love soooo many of your recipes. Been vegan for a few years, and your recipes have enriched my food life so much!
Much love going out to you from Cologne, Germany,
Lilly
I make those for my coworkers anytime they accept to switch shifts with me !
I followed instructions, only thing i used different was chocolate chips instead of broken up chocolate. and almond milk. They were dry and didnt taste very good. Dont know if I messed up but i did follow the recipe. They didnt spread out at all. And did not look like the picture. OH well
The most delicious chocolate chip cookies ever. My 5 years old loves them.
Thank you so much for all the recepies. I have been vegan for only 2 months and you are making my life easier.
Hi!! These are the most delicious chocolate Chip Cookie recipe I've ever had! So soft! Just a question. Are these cookies healthy??
This recipe is probably the most delicious choc chip cookies I've ever tasted!!!
I have pretty much been making them every day for my family of 9!!!
I think this recipe will never go out of my cookie rotation!
This was a delicious recipe! It's now my go to recipe for birthday gifts :)
My not vegan boyfriend told me that this is the best cookie he ever ate and want me to make it often 🥰
amazing ! can we use wheat flour instead or mix 1/2 and 1/2?
Sehr,sehr lecker und so einfach zu machen 😋🍪👍🏻
Love this recipe, my non-vegan boyfriend loved it as much as I did! Also you only need cupboard staples so you can make them anytime, which is perfect!!
I just made these. I made huge cookies and they stayed fluffy! I have never been able to get fluffy big cookies. I'm so excited to bring these out for every one tomorrow for Xmas. Thank you so much.
Every recipe of yours I have tried so far is easy and incredible tasty. I now consider myself a big fan and I will not stop recommending this blog
Thank you!
If I use olive oil or avocado oil, do i still put the dough to chill in the fridge?
This was a delicious recipe! It's now my go to recipe for birthday gifts :)
These are so good! We’re big fans of chocolate chip cookies 🍪 and this recipe has been a big hit.
I was wondering if the dough freezes well?
I made these cookies this week and they are so delicious and easy to make!!
Ever since I first made these cookies they have been one of our favourite cookie recipes. Sometimes good old chocolate chip just hits the spot! I love how light these cookies are with a generous amount of chocolate chunks. We come back to it again and again.
Just made these cookies and there are just delicious. Thank you for all the recipes / videos and content you posted. I am looking forward to the next ones.
Simple ingredients that we already had. My daughter is obsessed with your recipes and so I must always use her name to comment. Very delicious and we had fun making it during lock down.
Incredible! Thanks so much for this recipe. Everyone loved it. I added pecans and they were delicious and so easy to make, thanks!
Loved them! Took 20mins for mine to cook, but they tasted amazing. Super easy and quick recipe.
I have been baking chocolate chip ccookies ever since I can remember. I have tried so many reciepes and I am so happy to have tried this one! This is my now go-to-reciepe. It is easy, delicious and somehow has a very familiar taste to it.
Everybody snatches them right out of the box!
I like playing with the softness by using different types of sugar. Would definitely recommend!
Baked this with my niece today. And it turned out great . The recipe was easy to follow. Especially the customization of quantity. Will definitely be my go to Choco chip recipe in future. Thanks for all that you do Sadia!
These cookies were super delicious but just a tat too sweet for my tastes. Since I used the gramm measurements, I will try using cups next time and see if they still turn out as sweet. Other than that, great recipe!
This is my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe! I brought a batch to my family Christmas party last year and (without knowing they were vegan and that I had baked them) my cousins were eating them, talking about how delicious they were, and telling everyone else to try one IMMEDIATELY, lol! Once I told my family that the cookies were vegan, they were mind-blown! With this recipe under my belt I think I might have my aunt's "best cookie ever" beat, hehehe...
I made these cookies to bring those to a friend's house. Even the guy who is rather picky when it comes to cookies loved them.
They are easy to make, with ingredients I usually have on hand and they turn out soft and delicious.
My kids and hubby are very picky when it comes to desserts and they LOVED these cookies! They had no idea they’re vegan. This will be our go to chocolate chip cookie recipe from now on.
These were lovely!! I used vegan butter instead of refined coconut oil since its expensive where I like but it came out just great. I love how the recipe is so simple to follow, my non-vegan family didn't even notice.
Hey PUL team! I've made these cookies SO MANY TIMES and every time (even without access to all the measuring tools), they have turned out INCREDIBLE!!! This is my go-to vegan cookie recipe! I normally use coconut sugar instead of brown, and oat milk as opposed to soy. I'm drooling just thinking about them - they are heavenly! If I had to recommend one cookie recipe from the range that PUL offers - I'd say try this one first, you will not be dissapointed!
Fun story: I made a batch of 14 for our family and friends caravan trip around south-east england last summer. Initially, I thought that only the kids would finish them - but as soon as I opened the box, the parents and kids all finished them in 5 MINUTES! haha! They kept asking for more but I had to tell them that I sadly didn't have any more! It was such a hyggelig moment, as the danish would say, all of us gathered enjoying these cookies in a caravan after a lovely day out exploring is something I'll never forget :)
Eternally grateful that I stumbled across your channel whilst scrolling one day on YouTube, Sadia! I always look forward to trying out the new snacks that you create and of course, watching the youtube videos is one of my favourite moments of each week. It would be a dream to meet you one day! Sending love from London, UK! <3
I make them all the time, i like them more flat, so I get the coconut oil a little bit more runny.
A friend of mine tried them once when she visited me, and now whenever I visit her, I have to make a batch as a gift.
This recipe has been my go to during years! They are like cake-cookie, so super soft and comforting, really delicious!
These cookies are mmmmmmmm soo delicious, soft and simply awesome! I made them with classic coconut oil as I really like the chocolate - coconut combo and the result was so much better than I expected.
This recipe became my signature among not even vegan friends. At any gathering they would ask me to make a batch of those. Super delicious! But don't overbake them! 10 min max
I love these cookies. If you follow the recipe solely, I’d rate it an 8/10, but it’s so easy to customise with great results. I’ve used golden syrup instead of maple, and added salted pistachios with the chocolate and it takes it through the roof of brilliance. I don’t even bother eating non vegan cookies at this point, they just don’t live up to these. I took these into school on the last day, and had so many people ask me for the recipe. Thanks Sadia!
Hello! If I wanted to make these gluten free - what flour would you recommend?
Thanks!
I was feeling like baking cookies for a long time (I ended up buying for laziness), but I am so glad I've made these today! Super easy, simple ingredients and delicious, they end any sweet craving 😍
I love Pick Up Limes so much and some of my go-to recipes are from here! Thank you for all the inspiration and for proving us that veganism can be incredibly simple and wholesome - and to not ruin our relationship with food, I feel so glad you don't mind using sugar, while promoting a balanced eating, for example, that's why I kept following you all along 🥰
Absolutely delicious!
These are my ultimate favourite, thank you so much for this recipe ❤️
I tried making this with unrefined coconut oil, but the coconut taste comes out too much. Listen to Sadia and use refined.
Amazing!! 😋
I made these cookies a few times already to enjoy at a rainy day or to bring to friends and family and it's always a success!
When I took the first bite out of these soft angels sent from heaven, my kitchen was lit by sunlight and so were my taste buds. I wanted to cry. Shedding tears for every single chocolate chip in them. And oh they are moist, as if 150 g of tears (homemade) ARE in them (luckily the salt went into the ocean of admiration for this recipe - Thank you! ).
Laura - currently in cookie heaven
PS: I only had coconut sugar on hand, worked heavenly :)
made them finally!! very easy but tasty and worth it!! substituted maple syrup with honey and coconut oil with olive oil and rest were same!! Thank you soo much PUL for your lovely recipes!! much love from India
Hi Sadia and PUL team
I love watching your videos and the effort that goes into the presentation and the information you provide is really commendable.
I am from India and this is going to be my first time to attempt such wonderful recipes. Hence, I would love to get few clarifications.
I would like to know if I can substitute coconut oil with any neutral tasting cooking oil, say groundnut oil. Also, can we substitute maple syrup with honey.
Looking forward to your response and keep up the good work!
I will preach Sadia's recipes until the day I'm gone. I'm fully serious when I say that 90% of my vegan recipes come from her, and it makes me SO excited to eat vegan. I spent the day meal prepping with 4/5 recipes being from Sadia's, each ending with a jaw drop after tasting from my mom. These cookies give the exact comforting warmth you'd expect from a Grandma's kitchen, and as I tasted it, I promised myself that the day I become a Grandma, these will be the legendary cookies I deliver! I could go on and on about Sadia, but if you have any hesitation about veganism, her recipes are the way to go. My dad isn't crazy about veganism in general, but he couldn't even NOTICE a difference in these cookies. LOVE THEM!
