    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • This recipe is simple to make and utilizes basic ingredients.
    • And, you do not need to chill the dough!
    • These Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies are completely vegan and dairy-free, so anyone can enjoy them.
    • They are soft, chewy, and packed with chocolate chips.
    • And most importantly, they are absolutely delicious!

    Ingredients

    Ingredients for this recipe in small containers on a linen cloth.

    Vegan Butter: I used Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks for this recipe. They taste great and are easily accessible.

    Vegan Red Gel Rood Coloring: My favorite brand is Ann Clark. It is what I use for my Vegan Red Velvet Cake and my Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes.

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

    Cocoa Powder: Use natural cocoa powder for this recipe, not Dutch processed. I recommend Ghirardelli cocoa powder.

    Chocolate Chips: I used vegan milk chocolate chips for these red velvet cookies, but you can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips if you prefer!

    Instructions

    Butter and brown sugar creamed together in a large mixing bowl.

    Step 1. In a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

    Red food coloring added to the mixture in a large bowl.

    Step 2. Then, add the non-dairy milk, vanilla extract and red gel food coloring.

    Mix on low until well combined.

    Chocolate chips added into the red velvet cookie dough.

    Step 3. Add flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined.

    Then, add the chocolate chips and mix until distributed.

    Cookies scooped onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Step 4. Use a three-tablespoon scoop to portion cookie dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 3 inches of space between each cookie.

    Then, bake in a 350°F oven for 12-14 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying!

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store these Vegan Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Cookies?

    Place the cookies into an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    Or place them in the freezer for up to a month.

    How do I know if red velvet cookies are done?

    Gently touch the edge of a cookie with a finger. It should feel set and not soft or giggly.

    Does baking on parchment paper make a difference?

    Yes! Baking on parchment paper stops cookies from sticking, and it also makes them spread just a little less.

    Top Recipe Tips

    Scrape the bowl down using a rubber spatula a few times at each step of the mixing process. This ensures the cookie dough is thoroughly mixed and you won't have any pockets that spread differently!
