Chef Chloe Coscarelli’s Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

No holiday celebration is complete without baking batches of sweet, decadent cookies! These vegan cookie recipes were crafted with the festive deliciousness of the holidays in mind, without sacrificing whole, plant-based ingredients.

The raspberry chocolate chunk cookies are a perfect combination of decadent chocolatey flavor and juicy tart bursts of raspberry, with an extra-festive holiday look & taste, and the peanut butter snowballs pack a nutty taste complimented by notes of holiday cheer from the cinnamon.

What makes both recipes extra special is using Else Nutrition, plant-based nutrition that provides children with the vitamins and nutrients they need using all-natural ingredients. These cookies are a healthier option that the whole family will love!

Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Makes 14 cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 6 scoops Else toddler or kids powder (vanilla flavor)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegan margarine
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup agave
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• ¾ cup vegan chocolate chunks, plus more for topping
• ½ cup raspberries

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 or 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, Else powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the margarine, brown sugar, agave, and vanilla until fluffy. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Once the flour mixture is incorporated, add chocolate chips.
4. Scoop about ¼ cup of dough at a time onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 3 inches between each scoop. Do not flatten. Add extra chips on top.
5. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden. I like to leave the centers slightly underdone.
6. Hit the pan on the countertop after removing from oven, which will flatten the cookies a little bit. Let cool on the pan and serve.

Note: Make it Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free baking flour.
