It’s #NationalCookieDay and we’re celebrating with these delicious (and festive!) chocolate vegan cookies. We’re not ones to make a lot of cookies, but we definitely have to start making more. Now that we’re in the spirit and Christmas is in the air (can you believe it?!), we’re getting a feeling that there are going to be a lot more cookies in our future.

You’re going to love this recipe because it uses all whole-food ingredients and is naturally sweetened with only coconut sugar. These cookies are perfect as a little snack with coffee, tea, or even hot chocolate. They’re crumbly and a little soft in the middle, just the perfect texture. And if you’re thinking of making something for friends and family, this is the perfect gift! Anyone would be delighted to receive these as a yummy holiday treat.

But the best thing about these cookies is that it’s literally a 3-step process to make them, and the cooking time is less than 15 minutes! This makes them a really great option for a sweet and satisfying whole-food treat for when you get those sugar cravings. Imagine—yummy chocolate cookies in less than 30 minutes!

They’re also a great recipe to make with kids since it really is so simple. And if you’re making them for kids, you can always omit the coffee.

And feel free to experiment with extra flavorings in these cookies. You can add toasted nuts and seeds into the mix, or add more Christmassy spices if you want. This is a nice chocolate cookie recipe that can be a base for your own take on it.

Festive Chocolate Cookies

Makes 8 large cookies (430g)

1 cup + 4 tsp | 80g spelt flour

1/4 cup | 18g cocoa powder

1/2 tsp | 1g instant coffee

1/4 tsp | 1g baking powder

1/4 tsp | 1g baking soda

1/4 tsp | 1g sea salt

1/4 cup | 40g coconut sugar

3 1/2 tbsp | 35ml coconut oil

2 tbsp + 2 tsp | 38ml almond milk

40g dark chocolate (at least 70%), chopped, or dark chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Place all the dry ingredients except chocolate in a large bowl and whisk to combine.

2. Place all wet ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add to dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.

3. Form 60g balls with your hands and place on a lined baking sheet. Gently press each with your hands to flatten. Bake for 13 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook them, as they’ll become to dry and hard.

4. Remove from oven and let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 6 days.
