Let me introduce you to my favorite vegan chocolate chip cookie. His name is Chocolate Chip Potato Chip Cookie and he’s vegan.
And so very yummy.
Before I ventured into vegan dessert recipes, being the skeptic that I am, I was pretty sure there was absolutely no way a vegan chocolate chip cookie could compare to the real thing. This little guy proved me so wrong. It’s crisp on the outside, nicely chewy in the center, and full of rich caramelized flavor. Everything you could want in a chocolate chip cookie.
On top of the cookies being so stinkin’ yummy, they are so ridiculously easy to make. You don’t need a mixer, unless you want to get crazy. You really only need two bowls and a wooden spoon. I’ts also my go-to recipe when I’m craving cookies and I have no eggs or no butter. Gasp! Isn’t that the absolute worst? My little heart used to get crushed every time. But not anymore!
This recipe was slightly adapted from Vive le Vegan.

The original recipe stays true to the classic chocolate chip cookie, but I think adding the crunchy, salty potato chips makes this recipe even more amazing. It’s a beautiful contrast of salty and sweet.
So yes, it’s safe to say I’m in love.
These look heavenly. I’m a sucker for anything that combines salty and sweet!
