Calling all chocolate lovers! These Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies will satisfy any chocolate craving. They are fudgy, chewy, and easy to make!
I've been on a big baking kick lately. Nothing makes me happier than getting in the kitchen and baking a batch of homemade cookies, especially around the holiday season.
I have been making these Vegan Double Chocolate Cookies on repeat. I love these cookies so much. I think these might be one of my favorite vegan cookies to bake.
This recipe is so easy to make and makes about 2 dozen cookies—perfect if you need to bring a dessert to a party!
These cookies have double the chocolate. The more chocolate, the better right?! The recipe uses both cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Adding the chocolate chips adds and an extra pop of chocolate flavor. If you are a chocolate fan, these cookies are perfect for you!
The best part about this recipe is that you don't need any fancy ingredients to make these delicious cookies.
Just your basic cookie ingredients! To keep these cookies vegan, applesauce is used in place of the eggs. I really like using applesauce in the cookie recipe because it also helps to recreate a soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookie.
can the cookies be made ahead of time?
Yes! What I love about these chocolate cookies is that you can make the cookies a day or two before your plan on serving them.
Just be sure to store the cookies in an air-tight container. I have also frozen the cookies and the freeze really well.

These cookies are So Delicious. Moist, chocolatey goodness, everything one wants a a double chocolate cookie to be. I didn’t have any vanilla & that wasn’t a problem flavor wise for me. As a bonus, the dough when left for a bit becomes a tad stiffer, perfect to place a nice chocolate chunk inside then roll them up for a gooey center. Love this recipe, will definitely make over & over.

What kind of sugar can you use besides cane sugar?
Jeni
You can also use regular granulated sugar. I haven't tried this recipe with other types of sugars before.
