Vegan White Chocolate Cookies – Cookies are kids’ favorites. But we adults too love to eat cookies along with a hot cup of tea. Like nicely arranged fruits suit your table, similarly, cookies suit your kitchen cabinet.
You can bake the number of cookies, as you want to keep for a week. I always thought, why can’t I store my homemade cookies for months’ as I can store-bought cookies.
Now, I can answer myself. Homemade cookies are healthier and can’t be stored longer because they don’t contain preservatives and other harmful ingredients.
Vegan White Chocolate Cookies
These vegan white chocolate cookies are sweet and delicious, and a healthier option because they are dairy-free and egg-free! They come out perfect every time, and even the non-vegans in our family love them! I think the secret to their success is the extra vanilla in the dough. The only side effect is it makes your house smell amazing. 🙂

Directions
Follow the step-by-step guide to prepare soft, crunchy cookies for your children and dear ones. Be extra cautious with the measurements and baking.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and apply butter or spray non-sticking oil on the baking pans.
- Now take a small bowl and add flax seeds and water to it. Flax seeds will soak the water.
- Take another large-size bowl and add in vegan margarine, brown sugar and caster sugar. Mix them well and then add vanilla along with flaxseed mixture. Stir them.
- In the mixture, add self-raising flour in it and mix well. Now knead the dough.
- Now adds chocolate chips and wrap them in the dough.
- Make 12 balls out of the dough. Use fingers to flatten the dough balls on the tray. Space between cookies should be at least 3 to 4 inches. As clumping of cookies is not affordable.
- Baking time is twelve minutes and then cool them properly. Cookies will turn chewy once they are cooled. Baking time should not exceed 12 min as it would make them crispy.
Cooking Tips & Recipe Variations
Here are some of the tips for vegan chocolate cookies. You can try them for a smooth experience.
- You can add in some plant-based milk to soften the hard dough if required. If the dough is too soft, then you may add self-raising flour to it.
- You can store the cookies at room temperature. Use an airtight container for this. Storage time should not exceed 5 days.
- Adding brown sugar will make them chewier. Self-raising flour should not be replaced with regular flour as then they will not spread well. Regular flour makes them hard but self-raising flour makes them appear soft from the center and crispy from the corners.
- Vanilla extracts are a good alternative to cocoa powder for people who don’t like chocolate much.
