The BEST melt-in-your-mouth chocolate chip cookies! Super easy, one bowl, ready in 20 minutes, and less than ten ingredients.
I have been perfecting this recipe for months, on and off! Cookies are more nuanced to bake than you might expect. Some batches needed to be thicker, spreading across the pan. Others were too cakey …do not use baking powder; baking SODA is essential to success!
The result is soft, slightly chewy cookies loaded with chocolate but not sickly sweet. The little smidge of coffee doesn’t impart any flavor but enhances the intensity of the dark chocolate. I love to add a generous sprinkle of sea salt flakes at the end, but they are also great if you prefer that classic cookie taste.
One Bowl Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
This super simple vegan cookie recipe is delicious, quick, has less than 10 ingredients – all of which are 'regular' everyday products – no health-food aisle stop required!
Servings 15
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup vegan margarine
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 200 g vegan dark chocolate, chopped
- Optional: sea salt flakes, to top
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C and lightly grease two baking sheets.
- In a very small bowl, dissolve instant coffee in 1 tsp of hot water.
- In a large bowl, cream the margarine, sugar and salt using an electric mixer until fluffy.
- Add the oil, vanilla and coffee. Mix on low speed until just combined (roughly 30 seconds).
- Sift flour and baking soda into wet mixture, stir to combine. Add chocolate and mix again until just combined.
- Form the dough into balls and place onto prepared pans.

If you are looking for a simple, tasty and full proof cookie recipe this recipe will not let you down!
When I first baked these cookies, I did not expect them to be one of the easiest, most delicious, mouth watering and flavoursome cookies I’ve ever made and eaten!
I’ve since made these cookies at least a dozen times and this is quite possibly the most consistent recipe that I’ve used. Each cookie is just as good as the preceding batch so you don’t ever have to worry about those baking fail moments.
The only thing you’ll hate is when there are none left in the jar!
Enjoy!
