Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are the best vegan soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies I’ve made. But be careful they are crazy addictive!

{scroll down for recipe in German}

After weeks of trying and adapting different recipes, I finally found THE ONE! I mean the one that made it through the critical feedback of my roomies, my boyfriend, my parents, neighbors and me.

When I made up the title “Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies”, I actually wanted to call them “Better than sex chocolate chip cookies”, but since I am from Switzerland I have to stay neutral. And that is what I do. I leave it to you. Make them and then make up your mind.

I am aware that Chocolate Chip Cookies might not be the most innovative thing you can do but sometimes the old classics are the best. I mean is there anything better than a warm cookie with melting dark chocolate in your mouth accompanied by a glass of sweet almond milk?

When I think back to my childhood, I actually guess that Cookies were always my favorite sweet to eat. Most people would prefer brownies to cookies but I am a Cookie girl.
