The Best Vegan Chocolate Chunk Paleo Cookies
The most delicious thick and chewy paleo and vegan chocolate chunk cookies! Thick, oh so soft, chewy, perfect texture. Ready for eating in only 15 minutes. My favorite Paleo cookie I’ve ever made… and I’ve made a lot! 11g protein per cookie!!
I know you want the cookies…
I know, you’re here for food. And I’m going to give it to you. Like, my favorite cookie recipe EVER. EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH. AND EVER MADE. EVER YUM!
These absolutely delicious paleo vegan cookies are everything a cookie should be: soft, thick, chewy, inviting, addicting, and HEALTHY! I can’t help it; I’m obsessed. And ranting about cookies. Yum, yum, yum!! That’s like all I have to say. Go eat ’em!
P.S. I have made waaay too many batches of these in the last few days. But that’s okay, because I have shared with a ton of friends and family and they have gotten raving reviews! Finally, a cookie recipe I want to make over and over again. I’m not kidding. I am the worst at making cookies usually!
Not today… I hope. Ugh! So good. I just want another.
I made these babies up in my food processor and boom! They were done in a few minutes. Like 15 minutes from start to finish.
Another thing you should know about these cookies- They have just the right amount of sweetness; not two cups of sugar like normal cookies. They only have a quarter cup coconut sugar and two tablespoons maple syrup, which makes them perfect. The sweetness is there, but not overpowering.
Guilt free indulgence that doesn’t make your head swim with crazy sugar levels, WIN!! They won’t disappoint, if you are looking for a good ol’ chewy and thick cookie. Plus, they are vegan and paleo, so win again!

Hi Kaylie! The cookies look amazing!! I can’t wait to bake up a batch! Quick question-can you tell me how many makes a serving? I need it for my fitness app! Thank you so much!! ❤️
A serving is one cookie 🙂
Do you have to use gelatin?
Nope 🙂
The thickness factor of these cookies is REALLLLL! Wishing I had a big bite right now, I’m drooling! Keep it up with your awesomeness 🙂
Thank you Bethany!
And egg free! Yay. I am intolerant to egg whites so excited to see a recipe without them 🙂
Could you sub some of the almond flour for coconut flour?
No, coconut flour absorbs way too much moisture and is a really different flour than almond flour. Almond flour can try being replaced by cashew or tigernut flour for best results. Cheers!
These were delicious and SO easy to make!! I will be making them again for sure!! Can you tell me if the nutritional information is per cookie? Thank you for this recipe!!
Good to hear Jackie! Yes, it’s per cookie. 🙂
Hi Kaylie, what exactly does the gelatin do for the cookie and what would be the difference if it is left out?
Hi Lara, it helps the cookie to stay together and also adds a lot of protein! But you can leave it out and it should work too. 🙂
Hi! These looks amazing! Would you store these in the fridge for a couple days in an airtight container or best on the counter?
Hi Jenny! I normally store them just on top of the counter for a few days in a bag or container. 🙂
Hi Lara, they look so but I’m on a 25 carb keto WOW so what can I substitute.
I’ve made these multiple times and love them! Works well with both almond and peanut butter. My husband even likes them without chocolate. I’m going to make the dry mix this week to send to a friend overseas!!
Hi Andrea, so glad you love these! And what a sweet idea to send some to a friend! Love it 🙂
Do I have to add the coconut? I am not a fan at all! The rest looks great!
Nevermind. Looked closer at the recipe. It is coconut oil. Thanks! Will be making this!
These are not vegan. (Gelatin is in no one’s world vegan.) Agar agar is a common vegan gelatin substitute. Just an FYI for you & readers 🙂
Hi Alisha, it says in the recipe to leave the gelatin out for vegans. 🙂
I’ve been using this recipe for over a year and loved it every single time with few subs based on what i had on hand. Since i never had the gelatin, i never used it in the recipe! What a game changer! Today i used collagen peptides and the texture and chewiness of the cookie was no joke!
Great to hear Ashley!! Thank you!
Hello, thanks for the recipe. Can we replace maple syrup with something else? As well as almond butter?
Honey is usually the best sub for maple syrup and any other nut butter like cashew or peanut will work well in place of almond butter. 🙂
Can I use plain whole milk to replace almond milk?
Totally! 🙂
Thank you… so much. I’ve been searching for the perfect paleo cookies recipe that didn’t use eggs and I could put together quickly. This was perfect and tasted just the way I was hoping. 🙂
So great to hear Aless!
I have made these about eight times now and I never get tired of the flavor. These are definitely my go to recipe. I have gotten the same reaction when making these for others. They love them. Awesome cookies!
Thank you so much Mary!
