The flavor and perfect texture of these cookies is, dare I say, on par with my Best Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe, which, my friends, is not vegan. Yep, I said it and I honestly believe it!

Make a vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe if you like a little variety in my cookie diet and the lack of dairy is easier to digest. Having vegan recipes like these cookies means I can share these with my vegan and dairy-free friends.

Flax eggs are simply a combination of water and flax meal. When these two ingredients are allowed a few minutes to gel together, they substitute for eggs in vegan recipes very well.

As a substitute for the butter, I used coconut oil and some full-fat coconut milk. The addition of coconut milk brings in moisture as well as added fat, a necessary ingredient in any baking recipe.

The final vegan substitution in this cookie recipe is the use of dairy-free chocolate chips. I tend to use Enjoy Life brand's dark chocolate chips.They melt well and have great flavor.
