Chocolate Chip Cookies-Like They Should Be
What you need:
3/4 cup raw sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegan margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4-1/3 cup applesauce (enough to equal 1 egg)
2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) bag vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips
What you do:
1. Heat oven to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Beat sugars, margarine, vanilla, and applesauce together in a large bowl.
3. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt. (Dough will be somewhat stiff). Stir in chocolate chips.
3. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until light brown. Cool.
This is a recipe that my mom has been making my entire life, and I was so so so excited that they turned out so well after substituting a few things.
Enjoy!

SO HOW'D IT GO?
oh my! wonderful cookies... i only added 1/2 c soybean marg. and upped the applesauce to 2/3... so moist and chewy. even when they start to brown they are far from crisp... so don't worry.
these were the absolute GREATEST cookies i have ever had. i'm gonna say probably because of all the margarine, but who cares! soooo worth it ;D
I also used the 2/3 c. applesauce and 1/2 c. Earth Balance like many of you recommended, and they turned out perfect! I made an 8-by-8 pan of bars as well as a couple dozen small cookies, and both are delicious and 100% indistinguishable from their non-vegan counterparts. Next time I might add coconut or nuts if I have them.
This recipe is a keeper for me. :)
These cookies are out of this world yummy!! :D After having a test cookie I quickly whipped up a second batch for the boyfriend to take to work. I know they'll love them as much as we do. This is now my chocolate chip recipe, for sure. As for substitutions, I used 2/3 cup applesauce and 1/2 cup vegan butter. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside - perfect! :)
I omitted raw sugar and only added brown. i reduced the margarine significantly, although i dont remember the exact measurements. i dont like my cookies greasy! also i added flax seed for a nuttier flavour.
overall they were okay. crunchy on the outside, and chewy inside ;)
These were great! I am not a huge chocolate fan, so I omitted the chips, but they were nice and fluffy and mmmmm yum.
That is downright ILLEGAL! :o
I used this recipe for my campus group's endeavor to bake 5,000 cookies and pass them out the first week of classes. The only alteration I made was substitute half of the margarine for veggie shortening to give the cookies more structure and skimped on the applesauce (a little bit less 1/3) The cookies turned out GREAT, and definitely lifted the spirits across all five campuses!
These cookies were SO AMAZING. I used brown sugar instead of raw, and vegetable shortening instead of the marge. I made them in the evening, and by the next morning when I woke up they were all gone!
Definitely my new favourite cookie recipe. :)
A little more cakey then cookie but yummy! I only had a little less than half a bag of chocolate chips (thought I had more when I started making them) so I threw in some shredded coconut to try and make up for it. I brought a bunch into work this morning. I'm not telling them they are vegan, I want to wait and see their reaction to the cookie first without any "eww they're vegan" prejudgement :)
For better or worse, the amount of fat is probably correct. Most of my Granny's best cookie recipes call for 2 sticks of butter, which equals 1 cup. That's why I don't use her recipes anymore (sorry Granny!).
