In reply to Sophie. Hi Sophie! glad to hear you're trying out a veganuary! At 20% they're not going to be like oatmeal cookies, more like chocolate chip cookies a little texture. If you want something closer to an oatmeal cookie, you might want to increase the ratio to more like 50%+, but I haven't tried it so I can't guarantee it will work out. Let us know how it goes if you try it out.

Hi Marc, these are great (we're trying veganuaryj)! To turn these into oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, would you just recommend doing the 20% flour weight substitution that you mentioned in the recipe?

Hi Jade, I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying these. As for making crispy cookies, just bake these longer, they'll still be soft when they come out of the oven, but will crisp as they cool. How much longer will depend on your oven so you may need to try it out a few times. Just be careful not to burn them.

Thank you for this amazing recipe. They are my favorite chewy vegan cookie recipe even though they are not gluten free. I used sunflower oil instead of coconut oil and I didn't have nutritional yeast either so I just added extra salt. I also used palm sugar and brown sugar instead of coconut sugar. I have made these 3 times now and can't wait to make more of them. I am so glad I tried this recipe. Could you also post a recipe for a vegan crispy cookie (crunchy throughout). Thank you!

Hi Alison, yep, I use virgin coconut oil. Hope you enjoy!

I can't wait to try this (along with at least 15 other recipes from your site at LEAST haha). One question though, is the coconut oil you used virgin coconut oil? Or a coconut oil without the coconut taste? I'm sure it may not matter much because either would taste delicious but I'd like to stick to your recipe as close as I can for the first try! Thank you again!

Hi Channon, it works great as a dairy/butter flavor substitute. I also put some in my vegan whipped cream. Also, a lot of people believe that umami is only important for savory foods, but umami gives a depth of flavor to food like the difference between watching something on TV vs in real life.

Brilliant as always. I would have never thought Nutritional Yeast could work in sweets.
