These Vegan Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies are seriously everything I'm looking for in a cookie. They are slightly crispy around the edges and perfectly soft and chewy in the middle with lots of gooey chocolate and crunchy pecan pieces throughout. So good! And you wouldn't know they are vegan by tasting them. They're every bit as delicious as a conventional cookie.
Ingredients
Coconut oil is what makes this cookies different than most, even vegan ones. It worked wonderfully and the cookies are not any oiler than those made with butter. I also used a combination of coconut sugar and maple syrup to sweeten these for a bit of a healthier treat. Whole wheat flour adds to the nutritional profile without sacrificing taste too.
- white whole wheat flour
- salt
- baking soda
- coconut oil
- coconut sugar
- maple syrup
- apple sauce
- vanilla
- chocolate chips
- pecans
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
These cookies are made with the standard creaming method. This method involves mixing together a fat in this case coconut oil and sugars to create a fluffy cream mixture. After creaming add the remaining dough ingredients. Lastly, fold in the chocolate chips and pecans. Then bake. This dough doesn't require chilling before.
Equipment
A stand mixer or hand mixer is needed to cream together the oil and sugars. You will also need basic kitchen tools such as bowls and measuring cups and spoons.
Storage
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Good for 3-4 days.
