These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies Will Make Everyone You Know Happy

The secret ingredient in these easy vegan chocolate-chip cookies from Alicia Kennedy is creamy coconut butter. Did we mention that you can eat the dough raw?

You know what no one's mad at, ever? A batch of warm, fresh-baked cookies. Well—there might be one exception. Imagine the frustration of facing down a tray full of gooey, chewy, chocolate-chip delights and not being able to sink your teeth into one because your aversion or inability to eat milk and eggs got in the way. 'Tis the plight of vegans.

Say no more, mon amour. Vegan chocolate chip cookies taste just as delicious as their eggy counterparts. Plus, you can share them with friends of all dietary preferences and food allergies.

This recipe from Alicia Kennedy of La Pirata Kitchen nearly ruined her fledgling bakery because it was so popular that she couldn't keep up with demand. "A local paper called me the 'Non-Dairy Queen,' she recalls. "A man got on a mic at the New York City's Vegan Drinks meetup I'd catered and said, 'I've been vegan for 20 years, and these are the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.'"

So there you have it. The secret might just be the coconut butter. But that's a snap to put together: Just mix coconut milk with coconut oil, and voila.
