    These Vegan Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are dairy-free, eggless and are full of coffee flavor from instant coffee or espresso and actual ground coffee beans!

    I usually use coffee and espresso as a background flavor in chocolate desserts. Espresso powder is in the cake of my Vegan Oreo Cake and its in my Vegan Chocolate Bread, too! In fact, the only recipe I have where coffee is a main flavor is in the frosting of my Vegan Dirty Chai Cake. So, its time to fix that.

    And these cookies are seriously addicting. They are thick, chewy, and are full of plenty of chocolate chips like the best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies, but they are also packed with coffee flavor! And they are easy to make using basic ingredients. Coffee and chocolate lovers, this one is for you.

    Ingredients

    Flour: Regular all-purpose flour, here. I always recommend King Arthur Flour.

    Non-Dairy Butter: I always recommend Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks. I also really like Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks.

    Brown Sugar: I like dark brown sugar for this Vegan Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

    Flax Egg: A combination of ground flax and water makes a flax egg. And this replaces regular egg to keep these coffee cookies eggless.

    Instant Coffee Granules: Hydrate the instant coffee in the flax egg and mix it right into the dough.

    Ground Coffee: Thats right! Actual coffee grounds. Whatever you use for your morning coffee will be great in these cookies.

    Chopped Chocolate or Chocolate Chips: I used a combination of the two.

    Instructions

    You won't believe how easy these Vegan Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are to make.

    First, make the flax egg by combining ground flax and water. Then into the flax egg add the instant coffee and vanilla.

    Next, cream non-dairy butter and brown sugar together until fluffy.

    Then, add the flax egg into the bowl and mix until combined.

    Now, add the flour, leaveners and salt.

    Next, add the ground coffee and chocolate chips and stir to distribute.

    Finally, scoop the cookies, chill and bake!

    Top Recipe Tip

    Do not skip the chill time if you want thick cookies!

    The chill time allows the flour time to hydrate so the cookies bake up thick and chewy.

    Substitutions

    You can use either instant espresso or instant coffee for these vegan coffee chocolate chip cookies.

    Instant espresso will be a little more intense.

    My Favorite Baking Sheets

    My favorite baking sheets for any job are these baking sheets by Nordic Ware.

    They are thick and sturdy so they bake evenly and will last forever!

    My Favorite Vegan Chocolate

    For a chocolate bar for chopping I like Endangered Species 72% bar. It's dark but not too dark. Perfect for cookies.

    And for chips, I usually go with Enjoy Life.

    But, if you are on a budget, check the store-brand semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips! They are usually vegan in my experience.

    Freeze them for easy to grab teats for a whole month!

    Storage

    To store these Vegan Coffee Chocolate Chip Cookies, place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 4 days.

    Or freeze for up to a month.
