Introduction

These vegan double chocolate cookies combine the richness of dark chocolate with the chewy softness of a well-balanced cookie. Made without vegan butter, the recipe uses coconut oil as a substitute, ensuring accessibility and simplicity. The combination of muscovado sugar and powdered sugar contributes to the cookies’ unique texture and flavor, blending caramel notes with sweetness.

The dough preparation involves a straightforward mixing process of wet and dry ingredients, followed by a crucial chilling step to maintain the cookies' structure during baking. Chilling also allows the flavors to meld together for a more pronounced taste. The inclusion of chopped dark chocolate adds bursts of gooey richness to every bite.

This recipe uses commonly available pantry staples, making it approachable for both seasoned bakers and beginners. By offering customization options for texture—crispy or soft—it caters to diverse preferences. Its step-by-step instructions and notes ensure successful baking outcomes even for those trying vegan cookies for the first time.

Ideal as a quick dessert or holiday treat, these cookies pair well with warm beverages like coffee or plant-based milk. With the added versatility of freezing the dough for later use, it’s a practical and indulgent option to satisfy chocolate cravings.
