Ingredients needed for the Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Almond flour: Adds a rich, nutty flavor and provides moisture to keep the cookies soft. It’s also gluten-free and gives a slightly denser, more tender texture.
• Baking soda: Acts as a leavening agent, helping the cookies rise slightly and become light and soft.
• Salt: Enhances the overall flavor by balancing the sweetness and bringing out the depth of the chocolate and other ingredients.
• Maple syrup: A natural sweetener that adds a caramel-like flavor, moisture, and a hint of richness to the dough.
• Coconut oil: Provides fat for richness and tenderness, while also offering a slight coconut flavor. It’s a great vegan alternative to butter.
• Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth to the flavor, complementing the chocolate and enhancing the sweetness of the cookies.
• Chocolate chips: The star ingredient that gives bursts of rich, melty chocolate with every bite. Vegan chocolate chips ensure the cookies remain plant-based.

Other Optional Topping Ideas

• Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet-salty combo.
• Shredded Coconut: Add a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top for a tropical twist.
• Nuts: Press a few chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds on top before baking.
• Dried Fruit: Add chopped dried cranberries, raisins, or cherries on top for a sweet and tart contrast.

Variations
