Here are the missing metric measurements in the written recipe for all the scale-users: 1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon oil = 140 ml oil 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon water = 75 ml water 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips = about 160-170 g chocolate chips
I made these last night. ..but I added some walnuts & macadamia nuts as well. I also mixed in some white chips along with the chocolate chips and let it rest in the fridge for 48 hours instead of 24 hours. I made the original recipe before and it was SO SO SO GOOD!! When I made my version they were AMAZING!!! It was still their recipe but I think letting them sit in the fridge for 24 hours more as well as the other add-ins, took the cookie to a whole another level. This is hands down my go to chocolate chip cookie. Never thought a cookie would taste this good without eggs or butter. The BEST VEGAN SALTED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE. Genius is right!!
I made these last night, chilled the dough for 24 hours. I don't know if that made a difference but they are delicious. I froze the first batch for 10 minutes before putting in the oven and they were not quite hard and they turned out a bit flatter than the second batch which were in the freezer for about 25 minutes. The second batch was puffier. Regardless, they both tasted delicious.
The best chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever made. 🍪 Simple ingredients. No butter alternative. No milk alternative. No egg substitute. I used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar. I used weight measurements and thank you for including that. I've always had trouble with my cookies spreading too much or not spreading at all. I did not have that problem with this recipe. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I missed the part where they cooked them.how long? What temp? Update, recipe link in info box. 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Ive made them three times now with dark brown sugar exclusively and a partial whole wheat flour substitution. Absolutely delicious. Tip: make your own dark brown sugar variation by mixing a little molasses with the water, make it warm to be able to mix in the thick molasses . Then use regular sugar, slightly less than recipe. A little molasses gives a rich, deep flavor
Just so you know, I've made this recipe a handful of times and it has become a go-to recipe for me. As long as I have chocolate chips, I usually have all the other ingredients in the pantry, no room temperature butter or eggs. You have to rest the dough in the fridge, more so than with butter/egg cookies, since the cool temperature helps the cookie maintain its shape in baking. And feel free to add vanilla if you like (if you use really good chocolate you don't need anything else). I've also tried this with espresso powder, and even made a sugar cookie version by leaving out the chips and using all white sugar. If you follow the directions as stated, you will get a dynamite cookie, one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever made, period. It's a great method for making vegan cookies, and you should really try it before you knock it.
@@burntc you definitely didn't whisk the oil and water together properly, the reason it came out like that is because it split, and that happens when you mess up an emulsion. An emulsion happens when you mix water and fat until its combined and thickens, so you need to really mix it thoroughly, hope this helps if you ever decide to make it again ☺️
I tried this recipe and tweak a little bit of the recipe and make it a little bit on a healthier side: (this recipe was AMAZING AND IT IS MY ALL TIME FAVE CCC NOW.) Instead of 1/2 cup Granulated sugar and light brown sugar, i used 3/4 cup of organic coconut sugar 2 cups of flour into 1 cup of apf and 1 cup of whole wheat flour to add some fiber. Canola oil to coconut oil 1/4cup+1tbsp of water into 1/4cup espresso plus 1tbsp of water it boost up the chocolate flavor. I also used 62% dark chocolate. If you like bitterweet chocolate chip cookies, i recommend do this tweak recipe like i did :) My cookie didn't flat like what video does, thats why i flatten my cookies before baking :)
I made these and they turned out amazing. I added some vanilla and espresso powder and it came out great. Also added some cinnamon powder since i like to add cinnamon to everything lol. And i used a dark chocolate bar and rough chopped it instead of chocolate chips.
Imma be real honest here... I once made banana bread muffins that were so dry people ate them out of pity. But this, this is where it’s at. This is the holy grail for ignorant bakers like myself. I didn’t even make the recipe because it was vegan, I made it because the ingredients were cheap and I thought “well, if I *really* mess it up, at least I didn’t put freaking truffles oil or gold foil in it”. Guess what? They are now my staple 🍪 cookie. I’ve been taking them to my friends 👫 friends and now they even *request* them. They’re asking me, ME (!) to bring cookies to their parties. Of course I have not said a single word about them being vegan 😂 I dunno 🤷🏽♂️ So yeah, please try and bake these cookies. DONT FORGET THE 24 HOUR CHILLING THO! They are amazingly chewy on the inside (tip: broil them the last two minutes for a crisp, golden brown outside and a chewy inside). Enjoy 😊
you should say theyre vegan! People are usually surprised and react positively because you arent using dairy or eggs. Especially if someone has a mild intolerance to dairy, it would give them peace of mind. Nice!
First time in my life I made cookies with this recipe and I must say the results are really good. Could not imagine making cookies is so simple. Highly recommend this recipe to you all. I used some Lindt dark chocolate bar that I had at home. Anyone tried making small batches though? This recipe makes like 17 cookies which are a lot for me
These are my go to cookies! For anyone wondering, yes, it does make a big differents if you don't chill them (mostly the texture but you'll also notice that after the chilling the dough doesn't taste like baking soda anymore) When they are fresh out of the oven the taste like nothing BUT once they're cooled they are so good. I mean the ingredients are so cheap, just give it a go!
I made these yesterday, to be honest...I didnt expect too much 🙈 BUT THEY TURNED OUT TO BE GREAT!!! I wont say thr best ever ccc, cause I made a LOT of them...but I will definitely make them again. I used dark muscovado sugar and caster sugar and dark chocolate chunks. I kept them refrigerated for 20houra and then scooped them, kepet them for 10min in freezer and baked them. They even look amazing. And taste like a great normal ccc... you dont know they are vegan. AMAZING 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Rose it’s mainly used to enhance the existing flavors especially in chocolate chip cookies, kind of like salt :) though i prefer a bit of a vanilla flavor so i often buy from mexico as it tends to be stronger
Well I'm surprised to see her mixing the chips with the flour first and not adding them at the end like most recipes do because THAT'S WHAT I DO when I make my CCC. I thought I was the only one doing it. I did it this way as it is easier to mix and it ensures the distribution is even. So happy to see others thinking the same way.
Just made these and I had no issues at all. I followed the recipe exactly, which means I let it rest for 24 hours and then froze them again for 10 minutes before baking. They taste awesome and taste identical to a traditional chocolate chip cookie they are just a little chewier. If you made these for people nobody would know that they had no eggs or butter and they taste super flavorful and sweet! The only weird thing is that when you bake them they don’t fill the room with a strong cookie smell like traditional cookies would.
I'm guessing that's because the traditional smell comes from the egg and the butter (and maybe vanilla, which they omitted). Did it smell like chocolate to you?
This is delish😊👌 Made a mistake by pouring 1cup of water, I was so disappointed but then baked them as muffins... WOW😋😋😋 took genius to another level... Delicious 👌👌
Thanks, I absolutely will try these. My husband has been dreaming of chocolate chip cookies since we went vegan. I have made many versions and none come close to old fashioned cookies. Will try it.
@@remij9592 no I was going for taste more than texture but I remember thinking I could definitely see these selling in a bakery. They were delicious. I think more thick than say a toll house. I also followed the directions for waiting times.
Just made them again last week, I think it's well over 40 batches at this point, and it they were a complete hit. This isn't the best vegan recipe, it's the best recipe, and it just happens to be vegan. A serious game changer. My main changes are 1) Don't add the additional tablespoons of water and of oil that they suggest, in fact consider shaving off a tablespoon off every cup. The dough holds its shape much better, without having to freeze, and 2) I go with 50/50 AP and self-raising flour. Variations I've made include orange (my personal favourite, with orange zest, orange essence, and orange-flavoured chocolate), hazelnut, pistachio with white chocolate (expensive but a delight), and extra salty (using sea salt dark chocolate), which I think is the most popular at the office.
@@GrumpetteJV I'm not vegan, dairy just causes lot of issues for me( acne, digestive stomach aches, weight gain) so I prefer switching in and out of veganism
As a child my great aunt all her cookie dough was kept in a round in waxed paper, hence called ice box when the box was ice, though she had a refrigerator. Slice and bake. Her few left small cubed left apple sauce was so good too...Thanks
I love that this has reg household ingredients that I already have. So good and definitely better than the tubs of cookie dough. Taste great! Never would have guessed they are vegan
they spent the whole intro downplaying the fact that it's vegan lol for the delicate omnivores that run away when they hear the v word. so many vegan restaurants and youtube recipes try to cater to omnivores like "you wont miss the meat!" or not advertising that they're vegan
Lindsay Toussaint well, I make a killer dibble chocolate filled brownie cake and people were a bit scared to eat it, they thought it was gonna taste funny because it didn’t have eggs and milk and butter. But after my non vegan family tried it they couldn’t get enough of it and I had to make a second cake. The word vegan just scares them off and then they don’t want to try it anymore.
jhamba when I first became a vegan I wasn’t really good at cooking. But in 4 years I’ve grown so much in my cooking and I often cook for my mom(who’s a vegan) and I cook a lot with my non vegan boyfriend. It does really help break down the fear
Julie Anne Hurst Oh lord! That reminds me of the time my extended family came to visit us for a week and they went out to the grocery store to stock up on milk and yogurt because they thought their kids were malnourished eating my WFPB meals from scratch. Lol Seriously, vegan food won't kill you, and nobody needs to consume breast milk to survive. Smh Amazing what advertising has accomplished.
So I prepared these after reading somany comments saying it worked for them... Seriously amazing cookies.. I'm not even vegan... But I would suggest add some coffee aas they're a little sweet..
I love this channel , and I have this cookie dough in the fridge chilling. I hate to admit it but I did make a few changes. I am not a vegan , Iam a diabetic, so I used the baking brown sugar for diabetes, I added two eggs and a cup of whole Blanche peanuts . The protein was what I was after.
Food52 well they were good, you should know that your recipe was probably much better, but The changes I made didn’t cause blood sugar spikes. Still it was nice to have a treat!
If you take out that extra tablespoon each of oil and of water, the dough will hold its shape without having to freeze. This is a phenomenal recipe that I have made over 20 times, both classic and with variations - my personal favourite is by adding orange zest and orange essence, and using orange-flavoured chocolate. Also, a lot of vegan chocolate isn't explicitly labelled as such, but you can see in the ingredients that it's vegan. Often, when it's only "secretly" vegan, like Lid and Aldi have here in the UK, it's cheaper than the labelled stuff, and often better, in my experience.
I had chronic fatigue and excessive hair loss. I went vegan and all my problems were gone! Now I feel extremely happy and energized! Also, my hair is knee length!❤️ I feel like I'm thriving!😌 I believe it's bc of all the rich vitamins in every food!!🥝🍐🥰
this is my favourite cookie recipe so far! before I turned vegan, I was obsessed with subway cookies. I missed it after I turned vegan. but after baking these cookies, I felt like I was eating subway cookies again! definitely recommend this recipe!
ohhh this is a GREAT comparison, i know exactly what those taste like and used to LOVE them too before i went plant based! tysm youve just convinced me to try these!
Very nice cookie recipie! I try to make it! iI didn't have these ice cream scoop! Can you tell me is grams the size of the cookie we you make the a ball? Have a nice day! 👍👏🍫🍪🍫🍪🍫
I tried this recipe today. I'm not vegan but I love vegan baking as I detest the smell of eggs in my bakes. This was absolutely delicious but I found that on cooling, the cookies didn't hold together very well and would break up on being lifted. Could be that it's extremely humid where I live. Next time I'll try adding dome psyllium husk to the mix and see if it helps.
Mine don’t spread like that. They remain pretty thick like most other people who have tried these on UA-cam... 🤔 I feel like she’s added more oil in hers here
Was anyone else’s dough very crumbly? I only had old brown sugar, but even with adding an extra table spoon of water and oil, my dough was crumbly. Got them in the freezer now before baking. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it still works out
Mine were crumbles that I kept trying to flatten together, and they never did flatten when I baked them.....I don’t know what I did wrong, the taste was good but they looked weird🤦🏾♀️👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
Hi! first baking cookie in my life. It is excellent and indeed quick to do 😁😍. Thank you! On the other hand it is much too sweet for me ... if I reduce the amount of sugars I must also reduce the amount of other ingredients?
Would you be able to tell me how long to bake these for if using a medium-size cookie scoop? My family prefers a little bigger cookie. :) It looked in the video as if you were using a small cookie scoop, is this correct? Thank you and I can't wait to try them!
Thanks for the recipe! Would of felt even cooler if the intention was to make it vegan 😊 idk why they kept emphasizing that it wasn’t cause of it as if it was some thing to be ashamed about 😂 it’s quite something to be proud of actually cause you’re offering something where an animal didn’t have to suffer or die for. Anyway, super yummy ❤
Hi Ligia, great question! While we haven't tested with coconut oil, a few commenters on the recipe have: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies Let us know how it goes if you do make this swap!
I can't wait to mskr these I'm allergic to egg whites so these would be awesome .thanks they look good , any baking ideas without eggs to try please do a video .
thanks i totally screwed up a similar recipe because the video did not mention refrigeration . I made the dough formed the dough into round balls on baking sheet while the mixture was still wet . I didnt even let it sit for awhile after baking . Result was very chewy but crumbly cookies after i put them in a zip lock bag Whatever resembled cookies turned into chewy crumbs the next day . Hoping for better results when i do it your way
@@food52 i am at a loss for words i cant make these cookies right to save my life I havent tried your version I was doing the 1./2 cup butter with brown sugar tsp of vanilla 1/4 cup almond milk 1.5cups of flour tsp baking soda and powder mix everything put the mix in frig for 12hrs roll them into balls freeze them for 10 min heat them in tray at 350 degrees for 10 min They come out thin flat no body to them . No matter how far i spread the dough mix apart when i roll then into little balls they end up connecting or on top of each other after they are done . The end result they break apart very easy like crumbs instead of solid cookies that come off the pan easily What am i doing wrong ?

angel mangual you aren’t making this recipe? You’re asking for advice on a different recipe......I could be extremely tired 😴 and misread your comment, tell me I ain’t trippin🤷🏽♀️
I made this TO THE TEE. It is not great. The texture is okay but the taste… is missing a richness and fullness you’d get from some sort of plant milk and plant butter. The dough is SUPER oily. Like after 12 hours in the fridge 1/4 cup oil seeped out of them. So much extra oil left on the parchment post baking. The final product feels like a fried crispy dough with too much chocolate, the salt helps but doesn’t create a nice balance. Lots of work for not that good of a product. You have to dunk them in milk or coffee to taper down the extreme sugary taste.
I haven’t baked mine yet but as soon as I mixed the ingredients together I noticed how oily it was! I tried to make to make some more dough with less oil and mixed it in. Hopefully it helps because if it’s oily it’ll be such a waste 😭
@@CazKing43 I patted my dough down and drained the oil from the bowl after leaving it overnight, but as long as you've got parchment under I'm sure you'll be okay!!
Can I used another type of oil instead of canola oil?? I try to avoid canola oil as much as possible because it made me feel sick for some reason, thank you so much!
Hi Sarah, while we haven't tested it with different oils, a number of commenters on the recipe page have tried it -- you might find their tips useful: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies Hope this helps, and let us know if you try it!
@@wendythompson6323 I won't use canola oil either. Almost all canola on the market is genetically modified and heavily processed. It is made from Rapeseed, and it was first used as a lubricant oil for machinery and ships. I am constantly surprised that it has become our oil of choice in this country. So many cooks and cook books and recipes mention it. It's cheap to make and so it's a money thing. Check out Sally Fallon on the subject. She says it goes rancid faster than other oils and foods made with it will mold faster than when other oils are used. It is really not fit for human consumption. I don't expect anyone to believe me, but do your homework, for your own sake. I use grape seed oil for my go to oil when you aren't looking for no oily flavor. It pays to search all oils, it is highly lucrative to sell poor quality oils, even grape seed and Olive oil can be poor quality. But Canola is Never good for you. Like so many things we take years to figure out are financially being perpetrated on us, sadly, Canola oil is a big one. I hope you take the time to look into this for yourselves. I do mean well.
thanks for this recipe, I will definitely use this for my Christmas gift baking! who would have thought it was time and a freezer? Plus no vegan eggs, or regular eggs. I wonder if gluten-free flour can be used, using the same process
I want to eat these but I am vegan, but I don’t want anyone to know that I am vegan, does anyone know if these are vegan? And if so, is it possible to keep the vegan status of these cookies a secret? Will people that are not vegan know that these are vegan? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I NEED TO KNOW. POST HASTE.
I guess we can assume alternative milk types are available for vegans nowadays, no? But they wrote the hesitance was because they wanted coffee...their bakery is not vegan.
I really wanted these to be great, but they weren’t. I followed the recipe exactly and realised as i was trying one of the finished cookies that they couldn’t be that good. There’s nothing in them with any flavour. I believe they would be much improved using a flavourful oil, like coconut oil or butter flavoured Crisco, and possibly an imitation butter additive and would definitely include some vanilla extract. I’m lactose intolerant so i miss that depth that butter imparts. The neutral oil somehow comes through in the finished product and seems to amplify because there’s no other flavours to compete. Side note- I’ll tinker with this recipe. I may add some walnut meal or almond meal and reduce the liquid fat content, using one of the two fats i mentioned above and add some homemade bourbon vanilla extract. Even another thought, because I’m not vegan, i may use ghee the next time I make them because ghee is virtually lactose free and has TONS of flavour. Just some “food” for thought. :::edited 2 days later::: while i stand by my earlier musings and ideas of how to improve these, after cooling and sitting for a day, they are much improved. More chewy, less of the oil flavour and an all around better cookie. My friends and family also said how good they were and that they wouldn’t have known they were vegan. So, in fairness to the recipe creator, these are a pretty good cookie after all. I will still add some vanilla and maybe a few nuts or something next time. And the flaky salt is definitely a must, don’t skip it!
I have a question. I baked it for 13 minutes on a preheated oven at 350f but it was still soft. Is this normal? I ended up baking for another 30 mon lmao. Any help would be appreciated
@@smartcupcake217 Are you sure? Baking powder is just sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) plus an acid and something to adsorb moisture (storing reasons: so that the baking powder doesn't get activated because of moisture in the air).
**warning slight rant** why do they say its a genius cookie in spite of being vegan??? why not "hey this is a genius tasting cookie AND literally makes the world a better place!" Vegans should be proud of choosing to take actions that match our ethical beliefs. I'm proud to be vegan. I'm not going to try to make anyone feel guilty or force them to be vegan too. But it sucks that people go out of their way to shame vegans, when we're the ones actually choosing to make it a slightly better place EVERY DAY for EVERY BEING.
I made these biscuits some time ago and they did turn out well, but the canola oil had super strong canola flavor (i know that it is a flavorless oil, but it was a big part of the taste) :// Any tips? :)
Hi Veronika! Thanks for your feedback -- a number of our community members have commented on the recipe that they've used other oils, or even less oil: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies Hopefully you'll find some inspiration there!
I tried this recipe several times and was AWESOME!!! Thank you so much for sharing this so that a girl in South Korea could enjoy this beauty!!
That's so great to hear -- glad you enjoyed, Labong!
I made this recipe few times and one time decided to substitute water with coffee. IT WAS AMAZING!!
Ok that sounds fantastic.
Mine was too sweet for some reason
How about stout beer?
Here are the missing metric measurements in the written recipe for all the scale-users:
1/2 cups + 1 tablespoon oil = 140 ml oil
1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon water = 75 ml water

No vanilla huh
you can put it in if you like... vanilla is expensive, but the recipe is about being quick & cheap & accessible.
Bruh I always skip the vanilla in chocolate chip cookie recipes. Personal preference I guess lol
do you even taste or smell the vanilla in a cookie, bc personally i never have
You don’t taste salt in some sweets either but it’s added to bring out the other flavors, just like vanilla.

Made a mistake by pouring 1cup of water, I was so disappointed but then baked them as muffins... WOW😋😋😋 took genius to another level... Delicious 👌👌
Made these cookies recently and they are FANTASTIC!! Thank you very much for the recipe! :D
Thanks, I absolutely will try these. My husband has been dreaming of chocolate chip cookies since we went vegan. I have made many versions and none come close to old fashioned cookies. Will try it.
Let us know how it goes, K D -- hope you enjoy!
@@food52 made them yesterday and they are gone this morning! Everyone loved them. The only thing I would do differently next time is double the batch.
Can you describe the texture? Was it like the ones you get from the grocery store where they’re pre mixed and ready to bake?
@@remij9592 no I was going for taste more than texture but I remember thinking I could definitely see these selling in a bakery. They were delicious. I think more thick than say a toll house. I also followed the directions for waiting times.
My batter was more wet
I baked these and Wow! they are gourmet.Every step in the process is very important to get the perfect chocolate chunk cookie.
Just made them again last week, I think it's well over 40 batches at this point, and it they were a complete hit. This isn't the best vegan recipe, it's the best recipe, and it just happens to be vegan. A serious game changer.
My main changes are 1) Don't add the additional tablespoons of water and of oil that they suggest, in fact consider shaving off a tablespoon off every cup. The dough holds its shape much better, without having to freeze, and 2) I go with 50/50 AP and self-raising flour.
Variations I've made include orange (my personal favourite, with orange zest, orange essence, and orange-flavoured chocolate), hazelnut, pistachio with white chocolate (expensive but a delight), and extra salty (using sea salt dark chocolate), which I think is the most popular at the office.
More vegan recipes plz! I wish everything was secretly vegan... lol
Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks for the suggestion!
Please no. The internet is full of it already. More normal food please!!!
@@GrumpetteJV vegan food is normal food. Whats the difference between adding eggs or milk and just using other ingredients to acheive the same thing?
@@GrumpetteJV like? you've never had a carrot? or bread? that's vegan and "normal food"
@@GrumpetteJV I'm not vegan, dairy just causes lot of issues for me( acne, digestive stomach aches, weight gain) so I prefer switching in and out of veganism
As a child my great aunt all her cookie dough was kept in a round in waxed paper, hence called ice box when the box was ice, though she had a refrigerator. Slice and bake. Her few left small cubed left apple sauce was so good too...Thanks
I love that this has reg household ingredients that I already have. So good and definitely better than the tubs of cookie dough. Taste great! Never would have guessed they are vegan
they spent the whole intro downplaying the fact that it's vegan lol for the delicate omnivores that run away when they hear the v word. so many vegan restaurants and youtube recipes try to cater to omnivores like "you wont miss the meat!" or not advertising that they're vegan
Lindsay Toussaint well, I make a killer dibble chocolate filled brownie cake and people were a bit scared to eat it, they thought it was gonna taste funny because it didn’t have eggs and milk and butter. But after my non vegan family tried it they couldn’t get enough of it and I had to make a second cake. The word vegan just scares them off and then they don’t want to try it anymore.
jhamba when I first became a vegan I wasn’t really good at cooking. But in 4 years I’ve grown so much in my cooking and I often cook for my mom(who’s a vegan) and I cook a lot with my non vegan boyfriend. It does really help break down the fear
Non vegans that are afraid of vegan food are dumb. I love vegan food not even a vegan. Why can't people try it
Skye Chavis exactly, they always act suspicious when I make something and it tastes good but it’s vegan, like I’m trying to poison them.
Julie Anne Hurst Oh lord! That reminds me of the time my extended family came to visit us for a week and they went out to the grocery store to stock up on milk and yogurt because they thought their kids were malnourished eating my WFPB meals from scratch. Lol Seriously, vegan food won't kill you, and nobody needs to consume breast milk to survive. Smh Amazing what advertising has accomplished.
This is the recipe I've been looking for my whole life
Literally the best recipe! Easy to make all available ingredients and the results are spectacular!!!! Loved this one
Great recipe I keep coming back to it, I made it today never disappointed me 💜
the big question: how’d they talk about the cookies for soo long while they were right in front of them and not eat them
😂 That's a great question Frida!
What about the answer to our destination after we may die
@@gloreeuhh- that is one heck of an escalation from cookies
These ladies are all so pretty! Such an aesthetic
I made this yesterday for the first time, and wow! Amazingggg! Best cookie recipe even
Had my first Ovenly cookie today, and it happened to be this one!! YUMM, thanks for the recipe ;)
What a delicious coincidence :) Let us know if you try the recipe!
So I prepared these after reading somany comments saying it worked for them... Seriously amazing cookies.. I'm not even vegan... But I would suggest add some coffee aas they're a little sweet..
Hi. I made this cookie recipe and they were the best ever!! Super easy to make and tastes really good. You should try this, seriously😍😍😍😍😍
I love this channel , and I have this cookie dough in the fridge chilling. I hate to admit it but I did make a few changes. I am not a vegan , Iam a diabetic, so I used the baking brown sugar for diabetes, I added two eggs and a cup of whole Blanche peanuts . The protein was what I was after.
Hi Cynthia! Glad you gave these cookies a try -- let us know how your version turns out!
Food52 well they were good, you should know that your recipe was probably much better, but The changes I made didn’t cause blood sugar spikes. Still it was nice to have a treat!
I tried this recipe and the cookies came out so good. It's almost incredible since there are so few and simple ingrediends going into them. :)
Thanks for sharing, Lorenzo -- so glad you enjoyed these cookies!
I absolutely loved the recipe!! How long can we store the extra cookie dough in the freeze if we don't use the entire batch?
As someone who suddenly developed a dairy allergy I thought my days of chocolate chip cookies were over. THESE ARE AMAZING 😭🔥🔥
If you take out that extra tablespoon each of oil and of water, the dough will hold its shape without having to freeze. This is a phenomenal recipe that I have made over 20 times, both classic and with variations - my personal favourite is by adding orange zest and orange essence, and using orange-flavoured chocolate.
Also, a lot of vegan chocolate isn't explicitly labelled as such, but you can see in the ingredients that it's vegan. Often, when it's only "secretly" vegan, like Lid and Aldi have here in the UK, it's cheaper than the labelled stuff, and often better, in my experience.
I had chronic fatigue and excessive hair loss. I went vegan and all my problems were gone! Now I feel extremely happy and energized! Also, my hair is knee length!❤️ I feel like I'm thriving!😌 I believe it's bc of all the rich vitamins in every food!!🥝🍐🥰
this is my favourite cookie recipe so far! before I turned vegan, I was obsessed with subway cookies. I missed it after I turned vegan. but after baking these cookies, I felt like I was eating subway cookies again! definitely recommend this recipe!
ohhh this is a GREAT comparison, i know exactly what those taste like and used to LOVE them too before i went plant based! tysm youve just convinced me to try these!
@user-cs1xz aww you are welcome!! I hope you enjoy the recipe it's really good!!
I just made these and they are delicious
Thank you for writing the metric conversions as well! Will try this recipe. Looks DELICIOUS.
Let us know how it goes, Anna!
Overly is amazing... thank you ladies
Thanks just tried it, amazing recipe!
is the dough supposed to be more crumbly? Mine had some issues sticking together, although my measurements might have been off.
Very nice cookie recipie! I try to make it! iI didn't have these ice cream scoop! Can you tell me is grams the size of the cookie we you make the a ball? Have a nice day! 👍👏🍫🍪🍫🍪🍫
I’m going to make this today, so rn I’m waiting for my dough.. so excited🥰 wait for my update
I tried this recipe today. I'm not vegan but I love vegan baking as I detest the smell of eggs in my bakes. This was absolutely delicious but I found that on cooling, the cookies didn't hold together very well and would break up on being lifted. Could be that it's extremely humid where I live. Next time I'll try adding dome psyllium husk to the mix and see if it helps.
Thanks for sharing, Denise! Let us know how your second batch goes!
Mine don’t spread like that. They remain pretty thick like most other people who have tried these on UA-cam... 🤔 I feel like she’s added more oil in hers here
Oh I am trying THIS! the vegan cookies I make use butter.
THXS!
Secretly vegan is how we describe our recipe. Our son might reject it otherwise. Great video!
Was anyone else’s dough very crumbly? I only had old brown sugar, but even with adding an extra table spoon of water and oil, my dough was crumbly.
Got them in the freezer now before baking. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it still works out
Mine were crumbles that I kept trying to flatten together, and they never did flatten when I baked them.....I don’t know what I did wrong, the taste was good but they looked weird🤦🏾♀️👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳👩🏾🍳
Hands down the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever made
So glad you enjoyed, Kunaal!
Looks delicious, Is there a gluten free version ?
Hi! first baking cookie in my life. It is excellent and indeed quick to do 😁😍.
Thank you!
On the other hand it is much too sweet for me ... if I reduce the amount of sugars I must also reduce the amount of other ingredients?
Have u tried reducing sugar on the recipe? How did it go?
When I make this recipe, I reduce the sugar by down to 33%, so 70 grams of whatever white/brown combination.
Can i use coconut sugar instead the brown? Will make these later today, will comment how they turned out!
I just binged all of the videos. This series and Chanel deserves so many more subscribers. I can’t wait to see more amazing content!
Thanks Maida, glad you're enjoying our videos!
Loved that recipe. Thank you
Would you be able to tell me how long to bake these for if using a medium-size cookie scoop? My family prefers a little bigger cookie. :) It looked in the video as if you were using a small cookie scoop, is this correct? Thank you and I can't wait to try them!
Thanks for the recipe! Would of felt even cooler if the intention was to make it vegan 😊 idk why they kept emphasizing that it wasn’t cause of it as if it was some thing to be ashamed about 😂 it’s quite something to be proud of actually cause you’re offering something where an animal didn’t have to suffer or die for. Anyway, super yummy ❤
How would you recommend storing these? I tried storing them in cookie jars and they are not so chewy the next day.
I'm not sure what I did wrong but I've tried this recipe twice now and the cookies are just rock hard! Anyone actually have success with this recipe?
can i use coconut oil instead of canola please?
Hi Ligia, great question! While we haven't tested with coconut oil, a few commenters on the recipe have: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies

@@food52 thank you : )
It works. But you can only chill for an hour because overnight will become rock solid !
@@eko1966 thank you so much! : )
BEST. RECIPE. EVER.
Can this lovely recipe be done with gluten free flour?
How much flour? baking temp and time?
I can't wait to mskr these I'm allergic to egg whites so these would be awesome .thanks they look good , any baking ideas without eggs to try please do a video .
Thanks for the suggestion, Angela! Let us know if you try these cookies!
thanks i totally screwed up a similar recipe because the video did not mention refrigeration . I made the dough formed the dough into round balls on baking sheet while the mixture was still wet . I didnt even let it sit for awhile after baking . Result was very chewy but crumbly cookies after i put them in a zip lock bag Whatever resembled cookies turned into chewy crumbs the next day . Hoping for better results when i do it your way
Oh no, sorry to hear that! Let us know how it goes when you try this recipe, Angel!
@@food52 i am at a loss for words i cant make these cookies right to save my life I havent tried your version I was doing the 1./2 cup butter with brown sugar tsp of vanilla 1/4 cup almond milk 1.5cups of flour tsp baking soda and powder mix everything put the mix in frig for 12hrs roll them into balls freeze them for 10 min heat them in tray at 350 degrees for 10 min They come out thin flat no body to them . No matter how far i spread the dough mix apart when i roll then into little balls they end up connecting or on top of each other after they are done . The end result they break apart very easy like crumbs instead of solid cookies that come off the pan easily What am i doing wrong ?

angel mangual you aren’t making this recipe? You’re asking for advice on a different recipe......I could be extremely tired 😴 and misread your comment, tell me I ain’t trippin🤷🏽♀️
angel mangual 🤣 lmao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I made this TO THE TEE. It is not great. The texture is okay but the taste… is missing a richness and fullness you’d get from some sort of plant milk and plant butter. The dough is SUPER oily. Like after 12 hours in the fridge 1/4 cup oil seeped out of them. So much extra oil left on the parchment post baking. The final product feels like a fried crispy dough with too much chocolate, the salt helps but doesn’t create a nice balance. Lots of work for not that good of a product. You have to dunk them in milk or coffee to taper down the extreme sugary taste.
I haven’t baked mine yet but as soon as I mixed the ingredients together I noticed how oily it was! I tried to make to make some more dough with less oil and mixed it in. Hopefully it helps because if it’s oily it’ll be such a waste 😭
@@CazKing43 I patted my dough down and drained the oil from the bowl after leaving it overnight, but as long as you've got parchment under I'm sure you'll be okay!!
Looking forward to making this. Did I miss the dry ingredients/ measurements?
They didn't mention it in the video but if you go to the video description, all the ingredients are listed
Can I used another type of oil instead of canola oil?? I try to avoid canola oil as much as possible because it made me feel sick for some reason, thank you so much!
Hi Sarah, while we haven't tested it with different oils, a number of commenters on the recipe page have tried it -- you might find their tips useful: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies
Hope this helps, and let us know if you try it!
I agree. I would use a different oil. I never buy canola.
@@wendythompson6323 I won't use canola oil either. Almost all canola on the market is genetically modified and heavily processed. It is made from Rapeseed, and it was first used as a lubricant oil for machinery and ships.
I am constantly surprised that it has become our oil of choice in this country. So many cooks and cook books and recipes mention it. It's cheap to make and so it's a money thing. Check out Sally Fallon on the subject. She says it goes rancid faster than other oils and foods made with it will mold faster than when other oils are used.
It is really not fit for human consumption. I don't expect anyone to believe me, but do your homework, for your own sake. I use grape seed oil for my go to oil when you aren't looking for no oily flavor. It pays to search all oils, it is highly lucrative to sell poor quality oils, even grape seed and Olive oil can be poor quality. But Canola is Never good for you.
Like so many things we take years to figure out are financially being perpetrated on us, sadly, Canola oil is a big one. I hope you take the time to look into this for yourselves. I do mean well.
I used grape seed oil.
Food52 super late but thank you so much for the help!
Can I substitute the all purpise flour for self raising flour? would I have to remove the baking powder and baking soda too?
I'm making these for sure!
I actually came to this video because it was vegan and I'm tired of spending so much money on butter. Happy to hear it's actually loved by many.
Forget the cookies. I want to know where that black shirt with the ruffles is from.
Yes!!!
Omg I was just thinking that hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
thanks for this recipe, I will definitely use this for my Christmas gift baking! who would have thought it was time and a freezer? Plus no vegan eggs, or regular eggs. I wonder if gluten-free flour can be used, using the same process
Hi! Glad you enjoyed this recipe -- let us know how it goes when you make them!
Fffffing delicious. Had the batter in the fridge and ate most of it from the tub.
Haha so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Cat!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want to eat these but I am vegan, but I don’t want anyone to know that I am vegan, does anyone know if these are vegan? And if so, is it possible to keep the vegan status of these cookies a secret? Will people that are not vegan know that these are vegan? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP I NEED TO KNOW. POST HASTE.
emily I was being sarcastic
Jean-François Daignault
I KNOW! Geez Louise stop apologizing for making cookies and show us the recipe already.
I though you were really ashamed of being vegan 😂
Omg theee best vegan cookie recipe ever!! Sooooo good!
Glad you enjoyed, Sophia!
I am making these tomorrow!!
7:19 That moment when you offer a glass of milk for a vegan recipe. "UHHH" LOL
I guess we can assume alternative milk types are available for vegans nowadays, no? But they wrote the hesitance was because they wanted coffee...their bakery is not vegan.
It's obviously Soja milk duhh 😅
Could I use an alternative flour to make them gluten free?? Please answer, planning on making them tonight!!!
Sophia B. oat flour or almond flour tends to work for me. but i haven’t substituted them in a long time for an actual cookie recipe haha
just try a gluten free plain flour x
Yes the answer is yes. Use a premade blend though just like the commenter below says
Can I make this with wheat or gluten free flour?
Are they good with olive oil too?
Wow. The cooks were so inclusive.
Any recommendations for true vegan chocolate chips?
I really wanted these to be great, but they weren’t. I followed the recipe exactly and realised as i was trying one of the finished cookies that they couldn’t be that good. There’s nothing in them with any flavour. I believe they would be much improved using a flavourful oil, like coconut oil or butter flavoured Crisco, and possibly an imitation butter additive and would definitely include some vanilla extract. I’m lactose intolerant so i miss that depth that butter imparts. The neutral oil somehow comes through in the finished product and seems to amplify because there’s no other flavours to compete. Side note- I’ll tinker with this recipe. I may add some walnut meal or almond meal and reduce the liquid fat content, using one of the two fats i mentioned above and add some homemade bourbon vanilla extract. Even another thought, because I’m not vegan, i may use ghee the next time I make them because ghee is virtually lactose free and has TONS of flavour. Just some “food” for thought. :::edited 2 days later::: while i stand by my earlier musings and ideas of how to improve these, after cooling and sitting for a day, they are much improved. More chewy, less of the oil flavour and an all around better cookie. My friends and family also said how good they were and that they wouldn’t have known they were vegan. So, in fairness to the recipe creator, these are a pretty good cookie after all. I will still add some vanilla and maybe a few nuts or something next time. And the flaky salt is definitely a must, don’t skip it!
I have a question. I baked it for 13 minutes on a preheated oven at 350f but it was still soft. Is this normal? I ended up baking for another 30 mon lmao. Any help would be appreciated
Can I replace the oil with butter? I’m not vegan
can samantha seneviratne do a video on all these older episodes! her voice is really calming, like an asmr when doing housechores/studying
I loved this! I know this recipe is legit because they used BOTH baking soda and baking powder and talked about the chilling process.
Glad you enjoyed!
What is the difference between baking soda and baking powder ?
@@julys7943 soda spreads, powder puffs
@@smartcupcake217 Are you sure? Baking powder is just sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) plus an acid and something to adsorb moisture (storing reasons: so that the baking powder doesn't get activated because of moisture in the air).
How much flour and leavenings is there.
.
?
THIS IS AMAZING THX U SO MUCH
How do you make it crispy? I and my family really hate chewy cookies.
**warning slight rant** why do they say its a genius cookie in spite of being vegan??? why not "hey this is a genius tasting cookie AND literally makes the world a better place!" Vegans should be proud of choosing to take actions that match our ethical beliefs. I'm proud to be vegan. I'm not going to try to make anyone feel guilty or force them to be vegan too. But it sucks that people go out of their way to shame vegans, when we're the ones actually choosing to make it a slightly better place EVERY DAY for EVERY BEING.
I made these biscuits some time ago and they did turn out well, but the canola oil had super strong canola flavor (i know that it is a flavorless oil, but it was a big part of the taste) :// Any tips? :)
Hi Veronika! Thanks for your feedback -- a number of our community members have commented on the recipe that they've used other oils, or even less oil: food52.com/recipes/39132-ovenly-s-secretly-vegan-salted-chocolate-chip-cookies
Hopefully you'll find some inspiration there!
sunflower oil might work for you or coconut oil maybe if you do not mind it that much
