Use good dark chocolate chunks for awesome results. I usually use half spelt and half white flour for the cookies for the best results. They come out equally awesome with all spelt and all white as well. Let the dough chill nicely before baking and make as huge a cookie you like. Make a big batch today!
What are your plans for vday, if any 🙂 Make this Giant Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie!
Use maple or agave or molasses or if you can find Barley malt syrup, or a combination of any of these depending on taste preference. The syrups add a fantastic texture to the cookies! And the almond butter makes them moist and fudgy.

The Ultimate Giant Vegan Chocolate Chip & Chunk Cookies. Giant Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie
Ingredients
Dry:
- 1.25 cup organic unbleached white flour or Spelt flour, or half of each. use glutenfree all purpose flour to make gluten-free
- 1 Tbsp corn starch, or arrowroot starch
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet:
- 2 tsp flaxmeal
- 3 Tbsp almond milk
- 3 tbsp loaded almond butter, I used Justin's classic almond butter or use other nut butter or seed butter
- 3 Tbsp Oil, organic canola or coconut
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp light molasses, or 1 Tbsp maple syrup if you don't like molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ground raw sugar or brown sugar, any other fine vegan sugar (1/3 cup for less sweet, brown sugar makes the cookies more chewy)
Addins:
- 1/2 cup or more dark drinking chocolate chunks, I use Theo's, or Enjoy life chunks or other vegan semi sweet chocolate chunks
- 2-3 Tbsp mini chocolate chips or regular size chocolate chips
- Variations: Add in a 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Add more nut butter and omit the oil.
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients: In another bowl mix the flaxmeal into the almond milk. Add the almond butter, oil, vanilla, maple, molasses and mix well to combine. It will take a minute or so for the nut butter to mix in. Add the sugar and mix well. Add dry to the wet. Mix to form a dough. Add in the chocolate chips and chunk and mix to combine. Add more or less to chocolate chip density preference :). Cover and chill for an hour (do not skip).
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F / 190ºc. Take a handful of the dough (1/4-1/3 cup), roll into a ball and then press and shape into a disc of 4-5 inch width on parchment lined sheet.(I just press the ball directly on the parchment with my palm). Make as large or small to preference. Press the chocolate chips that remain the bowl after, into the shaped cookies. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar on top and press lightly on the cookie. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Let cool completely.(5 minutes). The cookies will soft out of the oven, but will firm up. Bake for less time for smaller cookies (till just about starting to get golden on the edges). Store in an airtight container once completely cool.

I made the recipe almost exact, I just followed the directions to add extra almond butter instead of oil. The dough was super crumbly and had a hard time sticking together. I went ahead and tried making them into cookies anyways. The flavor was great, but they just didn’t come out like cookies.
you can add a bit more non dairy milk to help the dough. Nut butter is thicker that oil, so the dough might need a bit of extra moisture to bind depending on the nut butter and flour etc
Hi Richa,
Can I use chia seeds or almond flour instead of fleaxmeal?
What exactly are drinking chocolate chunks? I’m assuming drinking chocolate is hot chocolate but chunks would mean like chocolate chips?
Hi Sarah, they are just dark chocolate chunks. Those are the ones I had at the time of writing the recipe. 🙂 Use any dark or semi sweet chocolate chunks. Or chop a chocolate bar into chunks size pieces.
Definitely making these tonight!
2 quick questions.
If I do the half spelt method, will unbleached enriched white flour work? (I also have APF)
I can’t find Theo dark drinking chocolate chunks. Its funny because of all the recipes I’ve made from your book and here, this is the one ingredient I haven’t been able to find in any of my local markets. My other options are njoy life semi sweet chunks, a regular dark chocolate Theo bar, or semisweet baking chocolate from Scharffen Berger that I guess I could chop up.
Yes, any of the flours will work.
I think Theo discontinued the drinking chunks. You can use enjoy life or any other chunks or chop up and use.
What a quick response!!!
Thank you so much! I think this will be a perfect dessert for tonight’s dinner; Spicy Red Lentil Cauliflower Potato Casserole 🙂
