Peace Peeps!
My month-long much-needed hiatus has come to an end, my friends. I missed you guys!!
My mind, body, and soul required my immediate attention, so I had to oblige by; spending a week-long vacation nestled in the cottages of King’s Creek. I indulged in weeks of self-pampering that included; zenful daily meditation (which I’m loving), journaling, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, juicing fresh juice by the gallon, and catching up on life in its present form. Did I mention self-pampering?
Hmm… anything else? Yes, as a matter of fact.
Since I’ve been on this unapologetically love thyself tour, I’ve been baking batch, after batch of these vegan chocolate chip cookies.
Be warned, these aren’t your average chocolate chip cookies. Your home will be filled with sweet, intense scents of caramelized coconut palm sugar melting in harmony with intoxicating notes of melting chocolate chips that are pure, gooey pockets of blissfulness.
Are you ready for my {me, me, me} vegan chocolate chip cookies recipe?
Let me say this, since becoming vegan in December, I’ve been on a mission desperately searching for the perfect {VEGAN} baking ingredients to support my confectionery addiction.
Here are two that I love! 
Wholesome Coconut Palm Sugar
If you want the “Whole” chocolate chip cookie experience guys, you need this coconut sugar as your sweetener. Full stop. This delightful unrefined brown sugar is made from the nectar of the coconut palm tree flower. C’mon family, the nectar from the coconut palm tree flower! There’s more to this sugar than just sweetness!! It has a warm caramel flavor that produces rich, bold, sweet flavors that intensify in every bite. I know you feel a yearning coming on.
Enjoy life Mega Chunks
As the brand suggests, Enjoy Life! So what does that mean for you and your cookie? These mega chocolate chunks will give your cookie large sections of pure, unadulterated molten chocolate that meld with the cookie, creating the perfect chocolate chip cookie experience. Ready for The BONUS? They’re dairy, nut & soy-free! WINNING! 
With such high baseline ingredients in place, what you expect beyond this point is nothing short of high expectations for the perfect vegan chocolate chip cookies.
And there you have it.

These sure do look good. I made vegan chocolate chip cookies a while ago they were actually very good but they seem to get hard fast. Your’s look delicious! May have to try them out one day so I’m going to pin it. By the way I’m an introvert too and I use to live in MD but now in the Northern Va area. 🙂

Hi, neighbor! The key is not to overbake, 8 minutes is perfect hence, “Perfect vegan chocolate chip cookies!” 🙂 Let me know how they turn out. BTW- Thanks for the pin!!

So I have some Coconut Sugar and I can’t remember what I used it for but I did not likey. I am definitely going to try your recipe because I am sure they are going to be great! Wait, it was Coconut Flour I think not sugar.

Even though I am not vegan, these cookies look great to me. I love the addition of pecans in them. Also…I love that you took this time to recharge and self pamper. I need to take a page from your book and treat myself 🙂

I want some NOW!!! These look so delicious. I have to look for those chips in the store today.

I love everything coconut. But when I use coconut oil, the one in the jar solidified, for cookies the coconut oil seems to have a greasy texture. Suggestions on reducing that affect? I’m not vegan I’m vegetarian though so I have split the oil part wth 1/4 coconut oil and 1/4 butter and they turned out great. But what might I have done wrong to contribute to a greasy texture when using all the coconut oil?
Tonya
Hi Marilea, that’s a good question, I’m not sure why the coconut oil would have contributed to a greasy texture. Having not seen the recipe, I would be speculating. One of the characteristics of coconut oil, it will solidify when stored below 76 degrees. I always melt my coconut oil first before measuring. I hope this helps.

These cookies look fabulous! Are they also gluten free?
Tonya
No, they’re not gluten free cookies due to the flour I used, but they can easily be made gluten free with a gluten free flour. Thanks for stopping by Sarah!
