VEGAN CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
After I posted this large Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Cookie for One, it became an instant hit with you readers! I got requests for a basic chocolate chip version but of course I had to take it a step further by adding caramel. My 3 Ingredient caramel, in fact.
Let me tell you, my eyes rolled in the back of my head after the first bite! The caramel and vanilla bean and molasses with the chocolate in each bite was so good I couldn’t believe it!
I know you will love this as much as the other one!

Vegan Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie for One
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (35g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tablespoon (4g) tapioca starch
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- large pinch fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon (20g) pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon plant-based milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon (5g) molasses
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean or extract
- 2 tablespoons dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 to5 1/4 teaspoons of homemade 3 ingredient caramel (you can use a store-bought caramel I suppose too, but this homemade caramel takes just 5 minutes to make and it divine)
NOTE
- I always recommend to use a scale for accuracy when baking, following MY gram weights listed, since we all measure differently. This greatly improves your chance for success and reduces room for error. You never need cups or to compare them to the weights, just use the scale and bowl and make sure to zero out in between each ingredient.
- I use this scale.
Instructions
- First, decide if you are making the homemade caramel or using storebought. If making my homemade (recommended!) Make it the DAY BEFORE or early in the day before the cookie, because it needs to firm up in the fridge before making the cookie. Make the caramel as instructed and place in the fridge to firm up several hours or overnight. It should be very thick and scoopable and not runny.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add the almond flour, tapioca, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk very well to break up any lumps.
- Add the syrup, milk, molasses, vanilla, and chocolate chips to the dry ingredients and stir until a very thick, sticky batter forms. It will seem too dry at first, but keep mixing and pressing the mixture with the back of a spoon. The nature of the fat and moisture in almond flour will eventually come together into a moist batter and should be very thick.
- Form a ball with your hands and place onto the parchment paper. Flatten it out to about 3 inches wide and between 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Take 4 to 5 heaping 1/4 teaspoons of the caramel and press down onto the cookie, spaced out (like in the photo).
- Bake for about 14 minutes until the edges are very golden and it has spread and puffed up a lot. Cool on the pan for 10 minutes before removing, as it will be too soft to eat right away. Enjoy the magical goodness!
This cookie is soooo good! It’s like something you’d buy from a bakery- chewy edges and soft in the middle. I went ahead and doubled the recipe the first time I made them (because Brandi’s recipes are always a hit) and I’m glad I did! This will be my go-to quick chocolate chip cookie!
Woohoo Megan, I love hearing this so much!!
Today is my husband’s birthday and I decided to make these this morning after I saw them on Instagram. He loves chocolate chip cookies. I made the caramel this morning, so it wasn’t firmed up after being in a fridge. I also doubled the recipe and made 8 smaller cookies instead of 2 big cookies. (Remember I doubled the recipe). I ended up drizzling the caramel over the cookies instead of dopples, since the caramel was not solidified. My husband’s eyes after I gave him one. Got sooo big! He said they were mmmmm….mmmmm…Make them. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Brandi!
