📖 About

Eating the dough is always the best part of a cookie making process. Who else is with us?

Remember when you were young and you’d sneak some cookie dough from your mom’s recipe not realizing that eggs can carry dangerous bacteria? Maybe that’s why this whole veganism movement started. A love for cookie dough without the risk of eating raw eggs. Who knows.

Anyway, we’ve created an extremely simple recipe using only 5 ingredients that you can whip up at any time. You don’t even have to roll it into balls. You can eat it right out of the bowl! It takes all of 5 minutes to do this.

We promise you, once you make these, you’ll ditch all those other recipes that have a long list of ingredients. These are perfectly sweet, packed with chocolate, and will melt in your mouth.

Chocolate Chips, Oat Flour, Maple Syrup, Coconut Oil, And Vanilla — We love the taste of oat flour in these

🍲 Key ingredients

Oat Flour: this whole grain flour is naturally gluten-free, packed full of nutrients like protein and fiber, and gives the recipe a subtle toasty flavor. If you can’t tell already, you should use this flour more often.

Coconut Oil: this ingredient is in a category of its own. Coconut oil is extremely versatile in cooking and baking. It doesn’t carry the expense of vegan butter, and it won’t make your cookie dough oily like other vegetable oils.

Maple Syrup: yes, using maple syrup in this recipe is an extremely Canadian thing for us to do. But, the sweetness achieved is so well rounded compared to its more processed counterparts. It’s our go-to for sweetening almost every dish. Did you know maple syrup contains 165% of the recommended daily intake of a trace element called manganese? This element you’re probably already confusing for magnesium is important for the nervous system to work properly.

Chocolate Chips: no cookie dough recipe is complete without chocolate chips. We get the Enjoy Life mini vegan chocolate chips because they’re sweet, delicious, and certified vegan.

Vanilla: if you’ve ever had flat tasting cookies before, but weren’t sure why, it may have been because you forgot to use vanilla. This spice enhances all the other flavors in the recipe. You won’t want to skip it!
