Vegan Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie
Indulge in a warm and gooey vegan deep dish chocolate chip cookie that’s perfect for one! This easy recipe combines a classic cookie recipe with a rich, deep-dish texture. Satisfy your sweet tooth with this vegan dessert that’s ready in just 15 minutes.
I had trouble deciding what to name this recipe because it’s a vegan, single-serving, deep dish chocolate chip cookie, but that’s a bit of a mouthful! The point is that this is the perfect dessert when you’re craving something sweet but don’t want to make a whole batch of cookies. You can have this little cookie in the oven in just a minute or two!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Vegan butter: I’ve tested this with Earth Balance buttery spread and Trader Joe’s vegan butter. You can use regular butter, if you’re not vegan.
- Brown sugar: This flavor and moisture to the dough, and helps to create a soft and chewy texture.
- White sugar: This adds sweetness to the cookies.
- Vanilla extract: This is necessary for a classic chocolate chip cookie flavor.
- Baking soda: This leavening agent helps the cookie to rise and become fluffy.
- Salt: Just a pinch enhances the flavor of the other ingredients and balances out the sweetness.
- All-purpose flour: provides structure and texture to the cookie. I have not tested this with gluten free flour.
- Chocolate chips: You can use mini chocolate chips or regular chocolate chips, just be sure they’re dairy free if you want to keep this vegan.
Tips for the Perfect Vegan Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie
- I like using mini chocolate chips, so you get a little bit of chocolate in every bite! But you can use any chips you have on hand.
- To keep this vegan, I used Earth Balance buttery spread but you can use any butter or butter substitute you like.
- Be sure to spray the ramekin before adding the dough, so your cookie doesn’t stick to the cup!

Notes
I’ve tested this recipe with Earth Balance buttery spread and Trader Joe’s vegan butter and both were delicious!
I tried to let mine cool for a couple of minutes but it was really hard not to dig right in.
Just look at that chocolate chip deliciousness. Good thing this recipe is a single serving!

Single Serving Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie
I like the deep dish title the most. It gives the impression that this the bowl of cookie dough is never ending. This looks really good!
YUM! Chocolate is my dessert love! 🙂 Great recipe girl!! This looks amazing!!
Ummm. What.
This will be my new nap time, I’m not sharing with anyone, treat 🙂
Sounds loovvelllyy! I have missed you at meatless monday these past few weeks! Where have you been my friend! Need more of these good recipes in my life! Haha I do not blame you about scooping your half out…..and I admire you for only having half. I would devour that on my own…..oops!
Hope you’re able to stave off the sickness! Andy seems to have an immune system of steel and hasn’t gotten sick at all this winter; I’ve been sick two or three times. You just never know,
I was sure this was going to be a microwave recipe, since it seems like all single-serve recipes are, but hurray! I don’t have a microwave and I can make this!
Haha we haven’t had a working microwave for the past few weeks so I had to make it in the oven but I was thinking that there are probably other people in the same boat!
The last single-serving chocolate chip cookie recipe I tried was rather disappointing. Yours looks AMAZING though, and can’t wait to try it! I have all the ingredients 🙂
I tried some that were a big disappointment so I was excited when this one turned out really well!
Oh. My. word. This sounds sooooo good! And just in time for my birthday/valentines day 😉
Cookies are definitely my weakness; they don’t really last long in our house. I am also an ice cream junkie. And when I’m not pregnant, I super love cupcakes. For some reason this girl I am pregnant with wants nothing to do with cupcakes!
This cookie looks amazing, I’m going to try it this weekend!
What is it about homemade chocolate chip cookies? They are just impossible to resist!
This looks great! I do the same thing with cookies, eating the ugly ones, the broken ones, or the ones that haven’t been baked yet and are “stuck” to the spatula or bowl, which I didn’t bother to scrape very well so that I’d have an excuse to eat it…
