Small Batch Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Small Batch Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies only makes five cookies. Perfection!

Now that the holidays are over, most people are thinking about resolutions, but those never seem to work very well for me. I'm all about moderation.

This small batch recipe fits my New Year’s needs perfectly because it makes only five cookies. It's a super simple one bowl, no mixer required recipe that comes together quickly, and you won't feel (that) bad about eating the whole batch.

Since this recipe is vegan, the eggs are replaced with tapioca flour. If you can't find tapioca flour, you can replace it with cornstarch.

I made it both ways and found that the cornstarch made a cookie with a slightly crisper exterior than one with tapioca flour.

Chopped chocolate and chocolate chips behave differently in cookies, so I used a combination of both. The chocolate chips retain their shape while the chopped chocolate creates melty pockets of gooey chocolate, and my ideal cookie contains both.

The cookies pictured use the measurements listed in the recipe. For a thicker, puffier cookie, reduce the oil to 2 tablespoons.

For a flatter, crispier cookies, increase the oil to 2.5 tablespoons and bake for 10 minutes. You can replace the grapeseed oil with coconut oil, but make sure that the water is room temperature when you add it to the mixture.

Cold water will cause the coconut oil to solidify and you’ll end up with oil chunks in your cookie dough. Unrefined coconut oil will impart a coconut flavor in the cookies, so if you don’t want coconutty cookies, use refined coconut oil.

For an extra fancy cookie, replace the grapeseed oil with a high quality olive oil. The flavor really comes through and adds a unique flavor and tastes great with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
