    Vegan Chocolate Chunk Cookies for two or for 1. One bowl Easy Chocolate chip cookies that make 2 large cookies. Vegan Soyfree Palm Oil-free Recipe | VeganRicha.com

    I saw a cookie for 1 in food and wine magazine the other day. That of course was a non vegan recipe. But that got me thinking about the days when I want a chocolate chip cookie to miraculously appear in front of me. And I just want 1 or maybe 2 cookies to cheer up the otherwise grey days. The real deal with all the caramelized sugar and soft and chewy middles. And so we make 2 cookies.

    In general, when I bake a batch of cookies, I use less oil and less sweet, or the healthier cookie as hubbs calls them. These are a treat for some special days. Since the recipe makes only 2 large cookies, there is automatic Portion control! You need just 1 Bowl and measuring spoons.  I add orange juice and nooch to the cookies as they both add a subtle flavor profile that is missing in the vegan (no butter, no egg) versions. You can also add a tiny pinch of kala namak (Indian black salt) for additional egg flavor. The recipes works equally well with aquafaba, non dairy milk or additional oil. The batter spreads and makes medium-large cookies. Bake away.

    Since the cookie uses smaller quantities of everything, small changes or differences in flours, juice, oil etc, or errors in measurement can add up to a a too liquid, more oily, or crumbly result. The mixture should be a thick smooth batter which is mixed well. Adjust the mixture before baking. If it is too flowy, add a bit more flour, too crumbly, add a bit more wet (juice or maple).

    Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp organic canola oil or use organica safflower oil
    • 1 1/2 tbsp (1.5 tbsp) powdered/fine sugar
    • 2 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
    • 1 tsp maple syrup
    • 1 tsp orange juice
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) vanilla extract 3 to 4 drops
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) nutritional yeast optional - it adds a deeper saltier flavor
    • a good pinch of salt
    • 2 1/2-3 tbsp (2.5 tbsp) unbleached white flour
    • a good pinch of baking soda about a 1/16th tsp
    • 1 1/2 tbsp (1.5 tbsp) or more vegan chocolate chunks or chips I use enjoy life brand, that uses cocoa butter, no palm oil
    • sea salt or maldon salt for sprinkling.

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 deg F / 180ºc.
    • In a bowl, add the ingredients oil through salt. Mix well until well combined and you don't see big drops of oil floating around.
    • Add 2.5 tbsp flour and sprinkle baking soda on the flour and mix well. Add a tsp flour at a time to make a thick batter mixture. Usually 3 Tbsp works out perfectly. Depending on the measurement of the wet ingredients, you might need a tsp less or more. The mixture should be thick batter, or stiff batter.
    • Fold in the chocolate chunks. Drop mixture on parchment lined baking sheet and flatten slightly. Sprinkle salt on the cookie and press in.
    • Bake at 350 deg F / 180ºc for 11 to 13 minutes till the edges just about start to turn golden. Tap the baking sheet and let it cool. The cookies will be soft right out of the oven, but will cool to be fudgy within 5-10 mins. Cool completely before storing.

    Notes

    I have made these cookies by subbing the 1 tsp maple + 1 tsp orange juice, with 2 tsp orange juice, 1 tsp aquafaba + 1 tsp maple, 1 tsp non dairy milk + 1 tsp maple. 2 tsp maple, 1 tsp maple + 1 tsp oil (in addition to the 1 Tbsp). These subs all work well. The best combination that works for me in terms of chewyness and flavor is orange juice + maple or oil + maple.
    If using a toaster oven, bake at a lower temperature (325 or 330 deg F).
    If the cookies come out too oily, evaluate the consistency of your batter like dough before baking. If it is too oily and liquid, Use 2.5 tsp oil or use more flour.

      Absurdly delicious, excellent texture and flavor. I used apple juice. I think I put in more chocolate chips in, I tend to not measure those…

      Wow. Wow, wow, wow. Did I mention: wow?! I’m about to make these cookies for the second time because they are SO freaking delicious. I followed the recipe almost exactly (didn’t have OJ, so subbed plain old water), baking time was spot on, and they turned out beautifully – honestly, one of the best, if not THE best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made! Love the fact that they’re not too sweet. Please, I’m begging, would it be possible for you to come up with a larger batch recipe? Portion control be damned – I need more of these cookies! Thank you!!

          Oh thank you – I guess wishes really do come true! I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, but currently have my third “batch” in as many days in the oven. Can’t wait for your larger batch recipe!!

      I made these tonight. This is my second time. They are cooling and I couldn’t help but thank you for the delicious recipe. I live alone and th is much less guilt eating two cookies rather than an entire batch. I truly am grateful for your recipes.

        Oh no. I’ve made these several times and i had that problem once when I used gf flour so they didnt absorb the oil well and just a bit oily when I used 1 tbsp + 1 tsp oil, so that was definitely more oil for the flour.
        What was the consistency of the batter? Maybe add another tsp or so flour for a thicker dough like batter? also try with a scant tbsp of oil. With these smaller quantities, the measuring error can add up. so you have to adjust the batter, if it feels off, before you bake them. Hope you make them again!

      I tried to make these cookies but it looks like there was way too much oil in the dough… not sure what went wrong. I used 1 tbsp of sunflower oil and 3 tbsp of flour. I ended up with fallen apart half baked dough pieces drenched in oil 🙁

        I am not sure what happened. Did you change anything in the recipe? Mine never fall apart and I have made these with different flours, additional oil as well, and canola and safflower oils. What was the consistency of the batter. What other wet ingredients did you use?
        Since it is such a small quantity, measurement error will be amplified, so you might have adjust the batter with more flour or liquid.

          I guess I should have expected it since the dough was too oily and didn’t stick together.
          I didn’t have maple syrup so I used only orange juice instead.
          I’ll give it another try 🙂

            I am not sure about stick together. Was it a dough and too crumbly? or a batter that wa too liquid and flowing away. if it wa too liquid, then a bit more flour will help. that will also help balance the oil. If it was too crumbly, then the dough needs a bit more wet.

      I was craving cookies and remembered I saved this recipe yesterday. They are in the oven baking and I can’t wait to indulge. Thanks for giving us the smaller options. I can enjoy eating cookies without being a pig about it.

      Richa, love that “automatic portion control.” That made me chuckle. 🙂 I definitely make my cookies a bit on the smaller side (2 tablespoons each) because it’s the amount of cookies that usually holds me back. Haha. Meanwhile, your cookies look delicious–those chunks just seal the deal. P.S. Love the incredible amount of vegan goodness on this site. 🙂
