What makes these cookies vegan?

These cookies are made vegan by using plant-based ingredients like vegan butter, soy milk, and unsweetened apple sauce as an egg replacement, alongside vegan chocolate chips and caramel chunks.

Can I substitute the coconut sugar?

While coconut sugar adds a distinct flavor, you could try an equal amount of granulated cane sugar or brown sugar, keeping in mind the texture and sweetness might vary slightly.

How do I ensure the caramel chunks melt properly?

To ensure the vegan caramel chunks melt nicely, make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough and the cookies are baked for the full 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.

What's the best way to store leftover cookies?

Once cooled, these cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, maintaining their soft texture.

Why use apple sauce in this cookie recipe?

Unsweetened apple sauce acts as a natural binder and adds moisture to the cookie dough, contributing to a tender crumb without the need for eggs.

How to Prepare Chocolate Chip Caramel Cookies [Vegan]

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the softened (not melted) vegan butter and sugar in a bowl. Use a whisk or hand mixer to combine until crumbly. Add in the soy milk, apple sauce and vanilla extract and continue whisking.
Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt and combine into a smooth batter with a spatula. Add in the vegan chocolate chips and caramel chunks and combine.
Take a melon or ice cream scoop, form small cookie balls (I’ve made around 15) and place them on the baking sheet, a few inches apart.
Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool down slightly before serving.
