Macadamia Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten Free & Vegan)

I use to be quite a skeptic when it came to vegan chocolate chip cookies.

All the ones I’d tried so far just weren’t there. They tasted good, but they weren’t what I’d call a proper cookie. They were usually hard and crisp (not my kind), and I like my cookies to be soft in the middle. I don’t want crunch when I bite into a proper cookie, I want gooey! Is that too much to ask?

These are the best vegan chocolate chip cookies I’ve had. I even fooled Matt, and he’s pretty hard to please when it comes to cookies! They have the crunch on the outside, the softness on the inside, and are filled with chocolate chunks and macadamias.

They have an ever so slight coconut-y taste from the coconut oil, so if you’re a coconut hater, approach with caution.

One of the best things about making vegan cookies is that there is absolutely no danger when you get to lick the bowl after making them. And trust me, when I’m making cookies, that cookie dough definitely gets eaten. Nothing goes to waste.

After they bake and cool, they will still stay relatively soft.

You can bake them further for a crispier finish, but I prefer mine quite soft in the middle. Since they’re made with coconut oil, they spread quite a bit, so if you do decide to keep them in for longer, keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

Since these cookies tend to stay quite soft at room temperature, what I do when I want them to be a bit harder, is I place them in the fridge for around 15 minutes. This helps to harden the coconut oil a little bit, but it doesn’t compromise on texture. I prefer mine once it’s been in the fridge, but it’s up to you!

I love love loove squishing some of my Guilt-Free Cookie Dough Ice Cream in between two cookies for a yummy treat. It’s so so delicious and fun to eat!

The best vegan chocolate chip cookies, filled with delicious macadamias, and so simple to make!
Author:
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (125ml) coconut oil
  • ¼ cup (60ml) maple syrup
  • ½ cup (60g) coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds plus 6 tablespoons water, set for 10 minutes
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond or peanut would be great)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 80g (3/4 cup) almond flour
  • 45g (1/3 cup) sorghum flour
  • 2 teaspoons tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 80g (3/4 cup) chocolate chunks
  • 35g (1/4 cup) macadamias
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, beat the coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax gel, vanilla, and sea salt until combined.
  2. Add in the flours and psyllium husk and slowly beat just until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chunks and macadamias.
  3. Wrap the bowl and chill dough for 24 hours.
  4. After the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 175ºC/350ºF and line a baking tray with some baking paper.
  5. Use a tablespoon or ice cream scoop to drop the dough onto the baking tray, quite far apart from one another. If your dough has softened, place back in the fridge or freezer for another 15 minutes so they can harden again (this will help prevent them from spreading too soon.)
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are browned but the centre is still soft and gooey. Let cool for about 30 minutes, then place then in the fridge for around 15 minutes, if you want them a bit harder.
  7. Serve as is or with some ice cream!
