I love me some chocolate chip cookies.

In fact, vegan chocolate chip walnut oatmeal cookies were the second-ever recipe on my blog!


You should check out that post and see how much my photography has improved. I cringe.

But to be fair, the recipe is solid. It’s the base recipe for all my oatmeal cookies, and despite the iffy photos, it’s a keeper.

So why am I making more chocolate chip cookies? Well one, I realized I don’t have many non-oatmeal cookie recipes on this blog. In vegan baking, oats suck up moisture and allow for crisp edges and soft centers- sometimes vegan flour-only cookies can be overly oily or dense.

So, I set out to make some crispy and delicious vegan chocolate chip cookies. And I totally succeeded.

These cookies are so easy to make and you don’t need to chill them at all! The less time you have to wait for cookies, the better, am I right?

Yeah, yeah, I know the holidays are all about fancy peppermint and shortbread and toffee, but you can NEVER resist a chocolate chip cookie. Classics are classics (kind of the theme this week, what with the brownie recipe earlier) and don’t go out of style.

And just as I said back in June 2014, “If you’re some sort of non-human, chocolate chip cookie, comfort food hating creature, this is your cue to leave.”
