How to Make Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
I had the most fun learning how to make vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookies! While each way is just a bit unique and wonderfully different, there is a general way of making all of these that’s simple and easy. Be sure to click on each link below to learn how. For the base recipe, scroll down to the recipe card.
Preheat
Before you even prep your ingredients, make sure to preheat the oven. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and prep the flax egg(s). Then, move onto the rest of the recipe.
Whisk the Dry Ingredients
Add all dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk it all together until it’s very well mixed.
Whisk the Wet Ingredients
Add all of the wet ingredients to a medium mixing bowl and whisk it together with a clean whisk until you get a cohesive wet mixture.
Combine
Now, combine the two components: wet and dry mixture. Stir, fold and whisk everything together until you get a dough. Now, fold in your add-ins.
Chill for some recipes
Some of the vegan gluten free cookies below will require chill time for delicious thickness in each cookie. Others will not because the dough is already thick as-is, or we want a beautiful spread to result in thin chocolate chip cookies. 😉
Scoop
Grab a cookie scoop, then scoop and drop balls of vegan gluten free cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press toppings into each cookies and flatten if the recipe calls for it.
Bake, Cool and Enjoy
Bake, cool and enjoy the best vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookies!
Thin & Crispy Cookies: the 1st Way
The 1st Recipe: Thin ‘n Crispy Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies!
One of my very favorite ways to enjoy vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookies. This one’s deliciously thin, with crispy edges. These cookies are for crunchy cookie lovers!
Thick & Chewy Cookies: the 2nd Way
The 2nd Recipe: Thick & Chewy Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
This thick and chewy vegan gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipe definitely rivals the thin & crispy way. You can bake these cookies up to be very thick, with a chewy center and just lightly crispy edges. The best part? The oozing, melty chocolate chips when you bite into each cookie.
Classic Cookies: the 3rd Way
The 3rd Recipe: Classic Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re traditional all the way, or just like your cookies in-between thick & chewy + thin and crispy, this classic chocolate chip cookies recipe is the one for you. These cookies bake up with medium-thickness, and are neither too chewy nor too crispy. It’s right in the middle.
Soft-Baked with Oat Flour Cookies: the 4th Way
The 4th Recipe: Soft Baked Gluten Free Vegan Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
Sometimes, soft-baked cookies seem the only way to go. You’re over the crispy factor, don’t want any chewiness, and all you need is a soft cookie that you can easily and gently sink your teeth into. This is the vegan gluten free cookie to do the job. It’s one of my most popular cookie recipes, and that’s saying a lot because there are so many cookie recipes on BB!
Oatmeal Cookies: the 5th Way
Here are two different ways to enjoy your vegan gluten free cookies with oatmeal. The first way has a super secret ingredient, while the second way is decadently chewy. See for yourself:
1st Oatmeal Cookie: Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Made with one secret ingredient, this is my favorite vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookie because it sneaks in a few more filling ingredients and goes heavier on the oats rather than the oat flour.
Or
2nd Oatmeal Cookie: Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my most popular gluten free cookie recipes. This one’s made with a ratio of oat flour and oats that are closer than in the vegan cookies above. It’s decadent, chewy and packed with just the right amount of chocolate. So, so good!

Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies - 5 ways
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups gluten free oat flour - if using homemade oat flour, make sure it's very finely ground (not coarse)*
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 flax egg, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Add-ins
- 1 ¼ cups vegan chocolate chips
Optional Topping
- 2-3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients, until well mixed.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Whisk as long as you can. Switch to stirring and folding with a rubber spatula until no flour patches remain. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Cover bowl and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes, until firm throughout. If necessary, allow to thaw at room temperature just until it’s soft enough to scoop, but still very firm and chilled.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, evenly spaced apart. Cookies will spread a bit. Using a spoon, flatten the cookies about halfway for thick cookies, or flatten considerably for just slightly thick cookies.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the tops of cookies. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes (on a cooling rack). Transfer cookies directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing. Storing instructions below. Enjoy!
