So, for those of you who lack self control like I do, these Small Batch Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are for you.
This recipe for Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies is truly fool-proof. If I, someone with possibly the worst luck and lowest IQ on this planet can do it, then anyone can.

Anyway… the dough for this recipe does require you to chill it overnight, in order for the thickest cookies possible, post-bake. Don’t let that turn you off though, because it is hell worth it – the flavor develops, and a firmer dough ensures a thicker, chewier cookies!
Once your Cookie Dough has chilled overnight, you’ll bake it by taking two mounds of Cookie Dough and placing one on top of the other (thus creating a standing Cookie Dough Soldier of sorts). Why? Well, doing this ensures that your Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies do not flatten too much in the oven and that you are rewarded with only the best cookies that even the Cookie Monster would sell his soul to the Devil for. Well, enough talking, start baking! Scroll down for the full recipe 🙂
