Hi there, Ameera here!

Vegan Jumbo Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies are ultra-thick, filled with melty chocolate chips and walnuts.  Soft and chewy texture makes them the ultimate chocolate chop cookie recipe!

These cookies are crazy delicious!  We loved the jumbo size and the texture was perfection!

Tips for Success:

• Almond Butter: Bring the almond butter to room temperature if it has been refrigerated.  You want “semi-runny” almond butter.  Thick, stiff, clumpy almond butter will not allow the almond butter to be evenly distributed.
• Cookie Formation and Size: Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to ensure similar sized cookies for even baking.  The cookie dough dimensions are approximately 3 inches in diameter and ½ to 3/4 inch high.   Shore up any edges to avoid the edges from over-browning.  The cookies are large.  You can make the cookies smaller with the understanding that you will need to reduce the baking time accordingly.
• Almond Butter Substitutions: This recipe was specifically created to use almond butter.  You can substitute the almond butter for cashew butter or sun butter with the understanding that the flavor will change accordingly.  We have not tested any substitutions.
• Almond Flour Substitutions: This recipe was specifically designed to use almond flour.
• Brown Rice Flour Substitutions: This recipe was specifically designed to use brown rice flour.
• Chopped Walnuts: Measure the walnuts after they have been chopped.
• Almond Flour: Very slightly pack the almond flour to arrive at the 1 cup measurement.
• Vegan Chocolate Chips: If you use Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks, chop the larger chocolate chunks in half.
• Amount of Vegan Chocolate Chips:  The amount largely depends on two things:  1) The dispersion of chocolate chips and 2) The size of the chocolate chips.  We like a lot of chocolate chips in our cookies and you will notice from the photos that we used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks.  We cut the longer log mega chunks in half and some in thirds.  But in general the mega chunks take up more space in a one-cup measuring cup that do regular chocolate chips; so in other words, you won’t get as many as if you would if using regular chocolate chips.  We suggest starting on the low end and adding more as you like.  You will get a great idea of how many is “enough” simply by mixing them in.
• Maple Sugar: We get tons of questions about sweetener substitutions. We totally get it. Some folks want to use all Medjool dates, while others want to use all maple syrup. We’ve tried these cookies using all Medjool dates, they turned out gummy.  We also tried using all maple syrup, they just didn’t hold up.  Honestly, the best sweetener for this cookie recipe is maple sugar.  Additionally, using date sugar is not recommended either as it just doesn’t have the same flavor and texture needed for this recipe. *** We also get lot questions about using coconut sugar, if your diet permits, you can substitute coconut sugar for the maple sugar. However, we have not tested with coconut sugar, many of our readers have let us know that coconut sugar works well as a substitute for maple sugar.

Leftovers and Freezing:

These cookies freeze well.  Allow to come completely to room temperature, then wrap 1 to 3 cookies tightly in plastic wrap.  Place the wrapped cookies into a freeze bag or container.  Thaw to room temperature after freezing.

Pantry Products Used:

• Vegan Chocolate: We used Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks.  You can use your favorite dark or semi-sweet vegan chocolate. Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Morsels are a great WFPB option.

Kitchen Products Used:

• Large non-stick skillet or similarly large skillet with a tight-fitting lid
  • Kitchen Product we used: Ceramic/Enamel Lined Skillet with a tight-fitting lid

We certainly hope you give this deliciousness a try.
